Ingredients

2 cups cooked pasta (such as penne or rotini)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1 package of refrigerated pizza dough or puff pastry
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and chopped romaine lettuce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough or puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles, depending on your preferred shape.
Fill the Pockets: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and pasta mixture in the center of each dough piece. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork or by pinching them together.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
Bake: Place the filled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Let the pockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious meal or snack.
