A very tasty pizza pocket originally from Company’s Comming Diabetic cooking,
easy and nice to have tucked away in the freezer for lunches. (recipe easily
doubles)
8 servings
45 min 20 min prep
8 ounces ground chicken (or beef or pork)
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 large garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup grated zucchini (or chopped broccoli)
1 (7 1/2 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (flakes)
3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or shredded)
2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons canola oil (I use Becel oil)
3/4 cup skim milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup skim milk
1.. Saute chicken, onion, garlic and zucchini in a large non stick fry pan
until no pink remains in chicken and liquid is evaporated.
2.. Stir in tomato sauce, oregano, basil, pepper and chillies flakes. Heat,
uncovered on low for 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat. Let stand to
cool slightly; stir in cheeses. Set aside.
3.. Combine whole wheat flour, first amount of all purpose flour, baking
powder and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the centre.
4.. Combine canola oil and first amount of milk in a small bowl; add all at
once to the dry ingredients; stir with a fork, just until moistened.
5.. Turn out onto a lightly floured board using second amount of all purpose
flour; gently knead dough 8 to 10 times. Divide dough into 8 portions; roll each
out to a 6 inch circle. Place 1/3 cup filling to one side of centre, moisten
edge of dough with some of the second amount of milk. Bring unfilled side of
dough over filling and press edges together with fork tines to seal well. Cut
slits in top with tip of a sharp knife; place on greased baking sheet. Brush
with remaining milk; bake in 400F degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes until golden
brown.
6.. Diabetic choices: 2 starch; 1/2 fruit & veggies; 1 1/2 protein; 1 fat &
oil.
