Instructions
1
Step 1
Melt some butter in a pan, then add a little oil. Stir in the flour and cook it for a minute or two. Slowly pour in about a cup of milk and keep cooking until it thickens, around 2-3 minutes.

Step 2
Add the chopped garlic and onions, cook for another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper, and stir everything together.

Step 3
Mix in some mayonnaise (and a splash of cream if you like it extra creamy). Then fold in the shredded boiled chicken and chopped coriander. Turn off the heat and set the filling aside.

Step 4
Take two slices of bread for each pocket. Use a round cutter to cut out circles from the bread. Save the crusts to make breadcrumbs later.

Step 5
Spoon some of the chicken filling onto one bread circle, sprinkle a little mozzarella on top, then wet the edges with water. Place another bread circle on top and press the edges to seal it well. Repeat with the rest.
