Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup cream cheese softened
  • ¼-½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning

Optional:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add Greek yogurt and olive oil, then mix until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ranch dressing, and ranch seasoning. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  4. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a 6-inch circle or oval.
  5. Add about ¼ cup of filling to the center of each dough round. Fold over and press edges firmly to seal. Crimp with a fork if desired.
  6. Place on prepared baking sheet. Whisk egg and water, then brush over the tops.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the pockets or they may open while baking
  • Let the dough rest to make it easier to work with
  • Soften cream cheese before mixing for a smoother filling
  • Add Ranch dressing till the filling is creamy enough for you
