It saves me the time and effort but with all the same flavor. I use rotisserie chicken for this recipe so I don’t have to cook chicken breasts before making these pockets.This is a great environment for keeping cool, drafty air from affecting the rise time of the dough. When proofing the dough, place the dough in your microwave while it’s off and close the door.A side of ranch dressing is always a good idea for dipping. To prevent a horrible burnt tongue situation, wait about 10 minutes until serving. Once all the pockets are formed, they’re brushed with an egg wash and baked in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. These pockets are pretty hefty so they’ll be the perfect size to feed one per person. But I promise it’s worth the effort!Īfter the dough is made, the filling ingredients are mixed and stuffed into 6 pockets. It’s a simple pizza dough so you can use a store-bought version if you don’t want to take the time to make your own. Making these pockets is much simpler than you think. But instead of using traditional pizza ingredients for calzones, I decided to use all the makings of buffalo chicken dip: chicken, wing sauce, ranch dressing, and mozzarella cheese.Īnd with that, my Buffalo Chicken Pockets were born! While working on my recipe for homemade pizza dough, I thought about making calzones (which Tyson also loves). What can I do with buffalo chicken dip that hasn’t been done?Īll of the above forced me to think out of the box a little.Why make it from scratch when I love the version I can buy from our local deli?.Buffalo chicken dip is at almost every party we go to and I’m close to getting sick of it.I’ve been hesitant to do this for a few reasons: Tyson has been begging me to make buffalo chicken dip for years. But, with today’s recipe, maybe his luck is about to change!

However, there has been something he’s been asking for that I haven’t been able to fulfill. Many times, the creations I have here on the blog are a product of one of Tyson’s requests. My husband is major part of the recipe development process. Buffalo Chicken Pockets – Homemade pizza dough is stuffed with chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and cheese and baked into a delicious pizza pocket.
