Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Pockets

11 oz. fresh broccoli
3 cups cooked (shredded or cubed) chicken
4 tsp. olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 16 oz. jar of roasted red peppers (coarsely chop them)
2 Tbsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 recipes of pizza crust, prepared

In a medium skillet, saute garlic in oil. Add broccoli, and cook until almost tender.
Remove from heat,

In a large bowl, broccoli, cheese, peppers, chicken, salt, pepper, and oregano.

Divide dough into 16 pieces. (8 pieces per recipe of dough)

On a floured surface, roll out each piece to make a 6 inch circle.

Spoon equal amounts of filling into each dough circle. Fold dough over filling, making a half circle. Press edges together with a fork. Make a small slit on the top of each pocket, to allow steam to escape.

Place pockets on greased baking sheets, and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
