Pizza Pouches

This lunch idea is great for everyone. Substitute your family's favourite vegetable , it's great to try a new one. This is the perfect way to do it! The fine chop of the veggies melts in with the cheese and chicken for a pleasing flavour combination. They are also delicious served cold.
