Instructions

  • Pre-make the Skinny Pizza Dough or make fresh. Both work either way. Set aside until ready to use.

  • Season chicken breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and Dak’s Spices Green Zest or Italian seasoning.
  • Cook until internal temperature reaches 165, let rest for at least 10 minutes then chop up.
  • Weigh out two 3-ounce portions of the dough.
  • Lightly coat cutting board with flour to prevent dough from sticking.
  • Take the mini pizza roller and roll out both dough balls into large round discs.
  • Add half the cheeses on one half of both of the discs followed by the chicken and broccoli.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the fillings.
  • Take the other half of the discs and fold over carefully into a half circle making sure the filling does not fall out.
  • Take a floured fork and go around the seams of the pocket and press together making sure the seams are secured and sealed.
  • Set the air fryer to 350 degrees.
  • Once both are sealed spray the tops lightly with avocado oil and sprinkle the garlic salt.
  • Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place both pockets into the basket.
  • Cook until golden brown flipping pockets halfway through.
  • Enjoy!
