Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 slices bacon, cut into bite-size pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Place chicken in a bowl with garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and pepper.

Step 4

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet.

Step 5

Saute chicken in the bacon grease until no longer pink on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to pan, 1 handful at a time, until it begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Cut each pastry sheet in half. Spread out pastry on a floured surface. Layer a portion of feta cheese, chicken, and bacon-spinach mixture over each piece. Fold pastry over stuffing and crimp edges with fingers. Place pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
