Pizza cravings don’t always have to mean heavy carbs and loads of grease. With these High Protein Pizza Hot Pockets, you can satisfy your cheesy cravings while fueling your body with protein. Perfect for gym-goers, busy students, or anyone who loves pizza but wants a healthier twist, these hot pockets are quick, filling, and freezer-friendly.

Why You’ll Love Them

These aren’t your average frozen hot pockets. Instead of relying on overly processed dough, this recipe uses high-protein alternatives like Greek yogurt dough or whole wheat wraps. Combined with lean protein such as chicken or turkey, plus gooey mozzarella and rich marinara sauce, you’ll get the flavors you love without sacrificing nutrition.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup cooked chicken breast or turkey (diced/shredded)
  • ½ cup marinara sauce (low-sugar)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (part-skim)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mix flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt in a bowl to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth, then divide into 4 equal portions.
  3. Roll each portion into a flat oval. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one half, leaving space at the edges.
  4. Add chicken, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with egg wash.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with extra marinara for dipping!

Meal Prep Tip

These hot pockets freeze beautifully. Simply bake, cool, and freeze individually. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a quick, protein-packed meal on the go.
