How to Make Chicken Enchilada Crescent Pockets for Two

You’ll be amazed at how quick and easy it is to make these chicken enchilada crescent pockets for two. It only takes a few easy steps before the aroma of delicious enchiladas fills your home. The recipe below will give you the exact ingredients and steps, but here’s a sneak peek!

Inside the Pockets

Chicken, cheese and enchilada sauce are combined in a bowl to make the filling for the pockets.

Form the Pockets

Pull the crescent dough apart into rectangles and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Make sure your pockets are leak-proof by pressing together the perforation lines in the dough. Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto to each rectangle and fold the dough over to form a pocket. Use a fork to press together the edges of the dough and poke the top with a sharp knife to release the steam while baking.

Bake Off!

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the pockets until deep golden brown. Make sure to serve them while they’re warm!

How to Store and Reheat Chicken Enchilada Crescent Pockets

When you’re making such a small batch recipe, it’s less likely that you’ll find yourself with leftovers, but it’s possible you may have one you’re saving for later. If that’s the case, here is how to store and reheat your pocket.

If you have any leftover crescent pockets, it’s important to place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them within 2 hours. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. We don’t like to freeze these pockets, as they can get soggy when defrosted. 

When it’s time to reheat your enchilada crescent pocket, simply place it on a baking sheet and heat through in a 300°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
