Many of my easy or even moderately complicated recipes have come from the family meals that I’ve prepared for my hungry siblings or for my curious coworkers who are also my taste testers.
This straight forward chicken dish was a quick thought for a pending lunch date in less than an hour with my sister, plus I was not feeling tip-top but I gotta ‘er done. ☺️ So, there’s nothing difficult about whipping up this simple recipe like I did—these saucy and cheesy little chicken bites—my tasty Italian Chicken Hot Pastry Pockets.
