Snacks Outside the Box: Savory Chicken and Bacon Pockets!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hormel Foods, LLC.. All opinions are 100% mine.

Having a website that specializes in arts, crafts and recipes means that when you are invited to gatherings, folks expect a bit more from you than a bag of chips.  I’m always up for a challenge and love to come up with snack ideas that are outside the box.  So this week, I put together some Savory Chicken and Bacon Pockets using Hormel Foods Premium Chicken Breast and Real Bacon Pieces.

You know that I specialize in easy recipes right?  These tasty pockets are not only easy to make, but are perfect for a fun get together!

These yummy pockets are crispy, and full of cheesy flavor.  And it looks like I spent a while in the kitchen whipping them up doesn’t it?  Want to know how to make them?

This recipe features HORMEL® Premium Chicken Breast and Real Bacon Pieces.  I love using both of these products.  They not only save me a ton of time in preparation, but are a delicious addition at an affordable price!

Savory Chicken and Bacon Pockets

2 tubes 8 oz each, refrigerated crescent rolls
2- 5oz cans HORMEL® Premium Chicken Breast
1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
2 tbsp. HORMEL Real Bacon Pieces
2 tbsp. dijon mustard

Drain the cans of Hormel Premium Chicken Breast and add them to a large bowl.  Mix in the shredded cheese.

Add in the bacon pieces, chopped green pepper and onions, mayonnaise, and dijon mustard.  Mix well.

Break off a triangle shaped crescent roll and form it into a square.  Add about 2 tbsp. of the meat mixture to the center of the dough square.

Fold up the corners and pinch together in the center as shown above.  Place on a greased pan and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Remove the browned chicken pockets from the oven and allow to cool.
