Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine minced chicken, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin, round crust on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken crusts in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are firm and slightly golden.
Remove the crusts from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce on each crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then top with bell peppers, olives, and spinach.
Carefully fold each crust in half to form a pocket, pressing the edges to seal. Top with more cheese if desired.
Return the pockets to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the hot pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
Feel free to get creative with the fillings! You can substitute the mozzarella with cheddar or provolone for a different flavor. Add some cooked bacon or pepperoni for a meatier option. If you’re not a fan of olives or bell peppers, try mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes instead. For a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add sliced jalapeños. These hot pockets are also great for meal prep—just make a batch and freeze them for a quick meal anytime!
