Finding a use for chicken from the soup is always a challenge. My dear mother puts sweet potato in everything, and that gave me the idea for this recipe. Enjoy!
Yields 10 chicken pockets
2 small sweet potatoes
2 cooked chicken bottoms, shredded
2 bunches scallions, washed and sliced thinly
10 squares Gefen Puff Pastry
1 egg, beaten
Gefen Sesame Seeds, for sprinkling
1/2 cup Gefen Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Glicks Teriyaki Sauce
1–2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper and set aside.
Wrap sweet potatoes in foil and bake for one and a half hours. Alternatively, cube the sweet potatoes and cook them in water until soft. Mash lightly.
Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl. Alternatively, use 1/2 cup spicy mayo instead.
Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Place two tablespoons chicken, one tablespoon sweet potato, one and a half tablespoons scallions, one tablespoon sauce in the center of each dough square.
Bring the corners together. Pinch well to form a pocket and place seam- side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden.
