Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Remove the biscuits from the tube and flatten each biscuit to about 5 inches wide.
Filling and Baking
- Take a spoonful of the chicken and bacon mixture and place it in the center of each biscuit. Fold the sides over to form a half-circle and pinch the seams closed.
- Prepare a shallow dish with finely crushed Ritz crackers and another shallow dish with a whisked egg and water mixture for coating.
- Dip each filled biscuit into the egg mixture and then into the cracker crumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Place coated biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Making the Sauce
- While the chicken and bacon pockets are baking, combine the cream of chicken soup, grated cheddar cheese, and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Serving
- Once the pockets are out of the oven, let them cool for a minute. Serve as is or drizzle the cheese sauce over the top.
Notes
Consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary to enhance the flavor. Variations may include adding chopped green onions or bell peppers to the filling for extra flavor.
