I've seen this recipe on a few recipe sites, but they're all a little different. It sounds really delicious and easy to make. It's sort of like a savory pot pie but with puff pastry (instead of dough), and it's shaped somewhat like a Hot Pocket.

How To Make greek spinach feta chicken pockets

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a cookie sheet (or line with parchment paper), and set aside.

Step 2

Unfold both sheets of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll them out a little bit if they look small.
Step 3

Without tearing the pastry, gently spread softened cream cheese evenly over pastry sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch space along the edges.
Step 4

Evenly distribute the well-drained spinach over half of the puff pastry sheet (width-wise), leaving about a 1/2 inch space along the edges. Sprinkle the garlic evenly over the spinach layer.
Step 5

Next, evenly distribute chicken and green onions over the spinach, again leaving a 1/2 inch space around the edges.
Step 6

Evenly sprinkle crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken, leaving a 1/2 inch space around edges.
Step 7

Fold over the half of the puff pastry that doesn't have the ingredients on it. and seal edges tightly.
Step 8

Transfer to prepared cookie sheet. If you want a browned shiny top on the pastry, brush some of the beaten egg over the top of the puff pastry.
Step 9

Bake in preheated oven (400°F) for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown. Cut into slices, and serve hot.
