Recipe Review : Hungry Girl's Chicken Pot Pockets

Chicken Pot Pockets recipe is located in both Hungry Girl's 300 under 300 and To The Max.  The recipe makes 12 pockets, and with only 1.25 g fat and 1.5 g sugar per pocket, is a meal that fits into my dietary requirements.

As to the contents, it is essentially chicken, vegetables, and cream soup sealed into a egg roll wrapper and baked.  I think it was pretty tasty for what it is, but perhaps a little bland.  Also, the egg roll wrapper as the pocket was interesting.  It did not get crispy, and was by no means a traditional texture with regards to a "pot pie" type crust.  But it did hold the filling together.  Almost every one of the pockets split a bit and leaked a little cream soup, but it wasn't excessive.  The only part I would say I truly didn't care for was the edges where the wrapper was sealed together.  It got very hard, past crispy, once baked.

I will probably make it again though after tinkering with it a bit.  Each pocket is about the size of a "Hot Pocket."  Below is a picture of two pockets.  I forgot to take picture when they were fresh, so this is what they looked like after a night in the refrigerator.
