Honey Mustard Chicken Pockets with Creamy Honey Mustard Dip
Amazing chicken pockets snack that kids and adult will adore. Flaky puff pastry filled with cheese and juicy chicken that was cooked in honey Dijon sauce.
Honey Mustard Chicken Pockets
I tried something a little bit different with chicken the other day. I don’t marinade my chicken often but I thought I’d try something new. Kraft came out with a new product called Anything Dressings. These dressings can be used on more than just salads, hence the name “Anything Dressing”. Since I can do a lot of different things with this dressing, I decided to make a marinade and a dipping sauce for my appetizer idea.
I wanted to make some Honey Dijon chicken and then I thought that I would take it a step further and wrap it in puff pastry. I went on Kraft website to see what kind of verity they have and decided on Honey Dijon and Honey Mustard.
When I actually got to WalMart, they didn’t have Honey Dijon so I made my own variation. There will also be live demos in WalMart stores all over the county during the month of September, make sure to catch one at your store and try the new Kraft Anything Dressings. My store didn’t have that demo yet but I am looking forward to it.
How to make chicken pockets:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine Kraft Honey Mustard Anything Dressing, Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Mix the chicken tenders into the marinade, make sure that all tenders are well coated. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 while preparing the chicken pockets.
Preheat the cooking pan over medium heat and add some oil. Add chicken tenders to the pan. Cook until all the tenders are fully done.
Shred tenders with two forks. Mix in shredded chicken and shredded Monterrey Jack.
Cut each sheet of pastry into 9 equal squares (18 in all). Divide the chicken and cheese mixture between the pastry squares. Lightly rub the edges of the squares with water and pinch the edges together to form a triangle pocket. Repeat with all 18 pockets.
Whisk the egg and a little bit of salt together and brush the pastries with egg mixture.
Bake the chicken pockets for about 13-15 minutes (until golden brown).
Combine the dip ingredients together and serve with the pastries.
(If you have leftover chicken, use it in sandwiches and wraps. )

My kids loved this recipe!
what is honey mustard dressing ,i am not familiar with it
Hi Sheila, you can find it with the salad dressings at your grocery store. It is a sweet mustard-based dressing.
I just made them and had about 3/4 of the chicken left over. The squares are small and only use a small amount of chicken
So one sheet is considered to be half the package of philo dough? One package has many very thin sheets but it’s considered one?
Stephanie, the recipe calls for puffed pastry, not philo dough. Two separate types of dough. The puff pastry can be found in the same refrigerated section as the filo dough! Pepperidge Farm makes some. It is labeled puff pastry sheets! Hope this helps.
I guess it’s just me because I read all the comments & nobody else asked……….how much chicken, like is it a pound or more or less? When you say 3 tenders, I’m picturing skinny strips of chicken as in that would be one serving. Are you saying it should be 3 chicken breast halves, boneless & skinless?
I saw that too, Lisa, and wondered the same thing. It has to be more than 3 tenders. I’m watching for a reply.
Hi Mary and Lisa!
Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention! I believe it was a typo. It’s a very old recipe but I think it’s supposed to be 13 chicken tender. (The skinny strips as you mentioned, Lisa.) And, you can actually use both sheets of puff pastry that comes in the pack because it should be enough filling for both. So you can make 18 little pies.
I’m so sorry about that and sorry that it took so long for me to notice the typo!
