Equipment

  • 1 baking dish 10.5 inch

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling

  • 500 g chicken breast cut into small cubes
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 200 g pizza sauce
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper
  • 2 green chillies or jalapeños chopped
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese

For Assembly

  • 6 large tortillas cut in half (to make 12 pockets)
  • 1 tbsp butter for greasing the dish
  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Oregano for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil if needed.
  • Add the cubed chicken breast along with paprika, salt, and garlic powder.
  • Cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers along with the chopped green chillies or jalapeños.
  • Stir in the pizza sauce and cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is well combined.
  • Add the cream cheese and mix until it melts into the sauce and creates a creamy filling.
  • Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  • Take the large tortillas and cut them in half.
  • Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each half.
  • Add 2–3 tablespoons of the cooked chicken filling on top.
  • Sprinkle a little more mozzarella over the chicken.
  • Fold and seal the tortilla to form a triangle pocket.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all pockets are prepared.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Grease a circular baking dish with butter and spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce over the base.
  • Arrange the prepared tortilla pockets in the dish. If your dish is smaller, bake them in batches (for example, 6 at a time).
  • Brush the tops lightly with more pizza sauce.
  • Sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese and oregano on top.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  • Let the pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re best enjoyed hot while the cheese is still gooey.
