BBQ Chicken Pockets Recipe
Who doesn’t love BBQ? With Summer here I am sure you all are itching to get the grill fired up! Or, you could be like me, and have your outdoor kitchen area isn’t ready quite yet. We have a smoker and a grill that are just SCREAMING to be used, and they are about 99% ready…but they aren’t there just yet 🙁
But that’s not going to stop me from enjoying BBQ! No way! That’s why I love this BBQ Chicken Pockets Recipe. It has all the BBQ flavor and I prepped everything in the crockpot. So, it’s an easy and delicious recipe!
I got together a few ingredients and I was ready to get started. I added in the carrots and green peppers for some hidden veggies and added crunch.
I love using shredded chicken in recipes, it’s so easy to make! Just toss your chicken in the crockpot with a little chicken broth and leave it sit until it’s nice and tender! Once my chicken was ready, I removed it from the crockpot, used 2 forks to shred it and then added the chicken, Stubb’s Original Bar B-Q Sauce, and the veggies back into the crockpot.
I let everything simmer on low in the crockpot for about an hour. I wanted the veggies tender and the BBQ sauce to be good and soaked into the chicken.
Next up is making the “pockets”. When you unroll the crescent rolls, don’t separate them into triangles. Leave them as the rectangle shape and do your best to get rid of the perforation, so that the juices stay in 🙂 Just use your fingers to squeeze the sides together.
I stuffed mine pretty good. You will fill half of it with the BBQ chicken mixture then fold the top of it. Use the fork to seal the sides closed, and once again – check the perforation along the top. Use your fingers to pinch them closed if needed.
I topped mine with Sharp Cheddar Cheese before tossing them into the oven…who doesn’t love some melted cheese?!
Now, here is my BBQ Chicken Pockets Recipe, be sure to Print It and Pin It so that you can make it again and again.
- 1 can Big & Flaky crescent dinner rolls – if you don’t have big and flaky, regular would be fine as well
- 1.5 lbs of shredded chicken
- 1 jar of Stubb’s Original Bar B-Q Sauce
- 1/2 cup diced green peppers
- 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
- Shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar cheese to top the pockets
- Add 1 jar of Stubb’s Original Bar B-Q, carrots, and green peppers to the shredded chicken
- Cook on low in crockpot for about 1 hour – until veggies are tender
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Make crescent rolls into a rectangle shape – see images above
- Fill half of the rectangle shape generously with the BBQ chicken mixture
- Fold close
- Use fork to seal edges closed
- Make sure seam on the top is sealed as well
- Top each “pocket” with shredded cheddar cheese
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 mins or until deep golden brown
- Serve warm
- Enjoy!
I hope you like these BBQ Chicken Pockets as much as we do!
