Preparation tips

- Make a double batch of the chicken mince and Parmesan filling and freeze half in portions; you can then assemble fresh parmi pockets on busy days without starting from scratch.
- For a kid-friendly version, reduce the garlic powder slightly and let children help press the bread and fold the pockets themselves; they will be prouder to eat what they made.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free variation: replace the bread with gluten-free wraps or flatbread and check that the chicken stock paste is gluten-free; the chicken mince, tomato sauce and Parmesan filling stays exactly the same.
- Festive variation: add a spoonful of pesto and a layer of mozzarella to the chicken mince filling, then serve the golden pockets sliced on a platter as a party snack with extra tomato dip.
