Chicken Parm Hot Pockets: A Quick and Cheesy Delight

Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and garlic powder. Stir everything together until well combined.

Prepare the dough:
Roll out the pizza dough or puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into rectangles (about 4-6 inches long, depending on your preference).

Assemble the hot pockets:
Place a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each dough rectangle. Fold the dough over to enclose the filling, creating a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal, then place the hot pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Apply the egg wash:
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each hot pocket to give it a golden, crispy finish.

Bake:
Bake the hot pockets in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:
Let the hot pockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a meal or snack with extra marinara sauce for dipping!
