How to Make Chicken Spinach Pocket

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and honey.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until mostly white and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes), stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of margarine. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for about 6 minutes over medium heat.
  5. Meanwhile, microwave the frozen spinach with 2 tablespoons of water, covered, for 6 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
  6. Add the spinach, minced garlic, and 5 tablespoons of the honey-mustard mixture to the skillet with the mushrooms and chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. On a greased baking sheet, lay out 4 of the crescent roll triangles.
  8. Spread the Laughing Cow cheese evenly over the other 4 crescent triangles.
  9. Spread the remaining honey-mustard mixture evenly over the 4 triangles without cheese.
  10. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the 4 honey-mustard triangles.
  11. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the filling.
  12. Top each with a Laughing Cow cheese triangle, pinching the edges to seal completely.
  13. Cut a small vent in the top of each pocket.
  14. Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is heated through.
