Chicken Pastry Pockets


Filling

1/2 recipe Cream of Chicken Substitute
3/8 cup Non-Dairy Sour Cream
2 smallish Boiled and Chopped Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup Canned Green Peppers (I recommend Old El Paso Brand)
 
Mix all ingredients together in medium bowl and set aside.

Basic Pastry

2/3 cup Rice Flour
1/3 cup Sorghum Flour
1/4 cup Potato Flour (flour, not starch)
1/2 oz Gelatin (abt. 1 TBSP + 1 scant tsp)
2 1/2 tsp Guar Gum
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 
1/2 tsp Poultry Seasoning (like McCormick)
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Chicken Bouillon/Herb OX
*  *  *  *  
2 tsp Yeast**
1/2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP Warm Water
*  *  *  *
2 TBSP Softened Butter (not melted)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup Italian Dressing
2 eggs, Room Temperature

**If you prefer yeast free, leave out 2nd set of ingredients and use 1/2 cup starter

1) Mix each set of ingredients in separate containers.  Making sure the dry group is in the largest bowl. 
2) When the yeast mixture has grown into a frothy airy mixture, combine all ingredients into the Large bowl.
3)  When the dough is mixed, divide in half, set one half aside.
4) Using saran wrap underneath the dough and over the top of the dough, roll the other  half into approximately 8 x 10 inch rectangle.  The dough should be just under 1/4 inch thick. 
5) Using a sharp knife cut the dough in thirds along the 10 inch side.
6) On one of these 3 pieces, place a generous scoop of filling on one side of the dough leaving a 1/2 inch of dough untouched along the edges.  Fold Dough over and press edges together.
7) Transfer Pocket from saran wrap onto a generously greased pan by spraying non-stick spray onto a spatula, sliding the spatula under one side of the dough and balancing the other side with your hand.

8) Repeat steps 6 and 7 with remaining rolled & cut dough and then repeat steps 4-7 for the other half of the dough

9) Bake 375 for about 28 minutes.  Makes 6 medium sized pockets.

 Eat with your hands!! They won't fall apart.  Even with his awkward hold for being too hot it did not break!! Makes for a great dinner on the go!
