INGREDIENTS:

BUFFALO CHICKEN FILLING:

  • Quarter cup chopped green onions

  • Half cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella
  • 12 oz low-fat cottage cheese

  • Half tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Half tsp black pepper

RICE PAPER WRAPPER:

  • 24 rice paper sheets
  • 2 beaten large eggs

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHICKEN BREAST:

  • It gives main protein and makes the hot pockets filling. We shred the chicken to mix it easily with the creamy buffalo sauce. You may use shredded cooked turkey breast as per your preference.

LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • This cheese gives a creamy texture and replaces the heavier cream ingredients. You may use fat-free cottage cheese as an alternative.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA:

  • Mozzarella adds creamy texture to the filling and becomes gooey while heating. You may use part-skim mozzarella as a substitute.

RICE PAPER SHEETS:

  • These sheets make the wrapper around the filling and get crispy while baking. You may use spring-roll rice paper wrappers as another idea.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, mix chicken, green onion, cottage cheese, pepper, hot sauce, mozzarella, salt, and onion powder in the large bowl.
  2. Beat the eggs in the shallow dish and dip 2 rice paper sheets in it briefly.
  3. Put the softened sheets on the surface and include 3/4 cup filling in the center.
  4. Fold the sides inward then fold the top and bottom on the filling.
  5. Seal the sheets into a rectangle and put them on the covered baking sheet.
  6. Bake the pockets for ten minutes at 450°F, then broil for five minutes on low.
  7. Lastly, cool the hot pockets for three minutes and serve.
