One of the ways I keep my week-night meal prep quick and easy is to pre-cook large amounts of chicken at once, divide it into meal size portions and put it away in the freezer. Most of the time, I keep the chicken unseasoned so it can be used in any type of recipe, but barbecue chicken and fajita chicken can be very versatile, so I do add batches of these into my rotation every so often.
These Barbecue Skillet Pockets are so easy and a was a great way to use the barbecue chicken from my freezer. Of course, you can use any type of pre-cooked chicken, all you have to do is add a little barbecue sauce!
What are some of your favorite quick weeknight meals? I would love to hear from you!

Barbecue Chicken Skillet Pockets
Description
These Barbecue Chicken Skillet Pockets are a great way to use up leftover chicken! Refrigerated biscuits, shredded chicken, barbecue sauce and cheese is all you need for these fun little pockets.
Ingredients
- Chopped or shredded chicken
- Barbecue sauce
- Shredded cheese
- Canned biscuits (I used wal-mart brand biscuits which are kind of small – portion control, ha ha!)
- Chopped red onion (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the chicken with a little barbecue sauce until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the biscuit into a circle.
- Spoon a little chicken on to the middle of the circle, top with a bit more barbecue sauce, shredded cheese and optional red onions.
- Fold the biscuit circles in half and seal the edges with your fingers.
- Transfer to a lightly oiled frying pan heated to medium and cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and the biscuit is cooked through. (That’s why it is helpful to roll the biscuit dough very flat.)
Serve and enjoy…

What a clever idea! Yummy too!
Thanks so much for sharing at Project Inspire{d}!
These are so simple. Why didn't I ever think of this? I think I would bake them and make it more simple and healthy. 🙂
I make the kiddos BBQ chicken wraps all the time..but never thought about a pocket – genius!
YUM – like like homemade Hot Pockets only better!
What a fun easy dinner! I have to take a lesson and make large amounts of meat! That would save so much time, money and frustration!
I can't tell you how many times frozen, cooked chicken has saved me!! These sound so good, and I'm always looking for more easy dinner ideas!

LOVE THIS! I would have never thought to use canned biscuits! Looks super yummy!
I love this idea! They look so yummy, and they kind of remind me of those chicken bakes you could get at costco. Definitely gonna try this, thanks for sharing!

Yum! These look fantastic. 🙂
This sounds great! I love the idea of cooking it ahead of time and freezing it for quick dinners.
My favorite quick meal is Gnocchi (storebought) with tomatosauce and crisp bacon on top. Super fast, super easy and just super! The kids love it too. Yum!
