Sumptuous Cheddar, Chicken and Broccoli Hot Pockets

For my first post, I want to share with you a recipe handed down from my grandmother which I love and I know you will too. It's essentially a crispy, buttery "pocket," if you will, filled with a creamy melted cheddar, chicken and a delicate broccoli compliment. Now, this recipe is not for a novice in the kitchen but it will come out well if you follow these steps closely. You'll need first to run down to your local market and locate the freezer section. There should be an entire door dedicated to the "Hot Pocket" (It will most likely be located next to the Totino's Pizza Rolls, which i'll post about later). Open up the door and grab yourself a box of cheddar, chicken and broccoli hot pockets and be careful not to select the "Lean Pockets" (ewww) or the "Crossaint Pockets." Take them home and make sure you get them into the freezer before they thaw out. This is important.

When you're ready to start prepping your delicious cheddar, chicken and broccoli pockets, you'll need a plate and a microwave. Open up the box and remove one of the Hot Pockets from the plastic wrapper. Subsequently, open and assemble the cardboard sleeve, making sure that the tab is fixed securely in the slot. Next, insert the pocket into the sleeve, minding the writing that says "this side up." Place it on the plate with "this side up" facing up, open the microwave and place it in. Now, set your microwave for 2 minutes on "high" and press "start." (Note: if you place both on the plate, you will need to up the time to 4 minutes otherwise you'll get some parts that are hot as shit and some that are still frozen.) Once the timer goes off, remove the plate from the microwave and take the pocket out of the sleeve. Let it rest for a minute or two to prevent you from burning the shit out of the roof of your mouth. Now, if you've done it right you should have a delicious pocket that bursts with flavor running down your chin when you bite it. 

Note: If you have edges that are hard to the tooth, you've cooked it too long and if it is cold in the middle then you haven't cooked it long enough. 

Hope you enjoy!
