Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked, shredded chicken

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package of pre-made pizza dough

1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

      Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cheese and chicken mixture. Stir until well combined.

        Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares (about 4x4 inches).

          Place a tablespoon of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each square of dough.

            Fold the dough over to form a triangle, sealing the edges well by pressing with your fingers or fork.

              Place the folded pillows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pillows are golden brown.

                  While the pillows are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

                    Remove the pillows from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

                      Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
