Easy Grilled BBQ Chicken Stuffed Pockets

These stuffed pockets feature juicy grilled chicken mixed with tangy BBQ sauce, all wrapped in a soft, flaky dough. The preparation time is quick, and the result is a fun and tasty handheld dish that can serve 4 people.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked grilled chicken, shredded
1 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for serving
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
1/2 cup chopped green onions or chives, for garnish (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded grilled chicken with BBQ sauce, mixing well. Stir in cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Cut into squares or circles, depending on the desired size.

Stuff the Pockets: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough square. Fold over and seal the edges using a fork or by pinching the dough closed.
Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the outside of each pocket with olive oil to promote browning on the grill.
Grill: Place the stuffed pockets on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the dough is golden and crispy, and heated through.
