I hope you are all feeling fantabulous today — or at least trying, because this week is already looking a little long (for obvious reasons). But hey, thank you for pitching up, it’s always a pleasure having you here.

Now that I’m finally here, we can officially begin our daily food meeting, so let’s get into today’s agenda.

Our star for today is: Crispy Cheesy Chicken Pocket Bites.

I mean, just look at them — these are not just yummy, they are proper yummy. Exactly the kind of meal you need to get through a Monday and keep your spirits up (food-wise, of course, lol).

Alright, let me take you through it step by step and show you how to bring this deliciousness together.

How to make Crispy Cheesy Chicken Pocket Bites

Ingredients:

• 4 slices bread
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
• ½ cup grated cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
• ¼ onion, very finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• 1 egg (for coating)
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• Oil for shallow frying

Method:

1. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix:
   *Shredded chicken
   *Cheese
   *Mayonnaise
   *Yogurt
   *Onion
   *Paprika, salt, and pepper
   *Mix until creamy and well combined

2. Prepare the bread: Cut off crusts (optional). Flatten each slice slightly with a rolling pin or glass.
3. Fill and seal: Place a spoon of filling in the centre. Fold the bread over (like a triangle or rectangle). Press edges firmly to seal (you can use a fork).
4. Coat: Dip each pocket in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
5. Cook: Shallow fry in oil until golden and crispy on both sides. (Or air fry / bake if you want a lighter version.)
