Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

These pockets combine tender chicken and hearty potatoes in a flaky crust, making them both comforting and satisfying. They are easy to hold and perfect for a quick meal or snack. The savory filling is flavorful without being too heavy, pleasing a variety of tastes.

Smart Cooking Tips

- Make sure the filling is not too wet to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- Seal the edges well to avoid any filling leaking during baking.
- Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.

Step 1

Make four foil packets using heavy-duty aluminum foil. Take a 1-foot square piece, fold it in half, and smooth it out flat. Then, fold each of the short edges over three times, about a quarter-inch each fold, pressing down firmly after each fold to create a sealed edge. You’ll end up with a pouch that’s open on one long side. Repeat this with the other pieces of foil.

Step 2

Toss the potatoes, chicken cubes, red peppers, onion, celery, and barbecue sauce together in a bowl or a large resealable bag until everything is well coated. Divide the mixture evenly between the foil packets, placing it inside each one.

Step 3

Once filled, carefully roll up the open end of each packet to seal everything inside. Place the packets on a grill over hot coals and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Cooking time might vary a bit depending on how hot your fire is, so keep an eye on them.

Serving Advice

Serve warm with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to balance out the richness. A dollop of sour cream or a tangy dipping sauce like mustard or aioli can add extra flavor. These pockets also pair well with a light soup for a complete meal.

Storage Guide

Let the pockets cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven to keep the crust crisp rather than using a microwave.
