Don’t feel like slaving over the stove? These kid-friendly pockets put store-bought goods to work so you don’t have to, with canned cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables and rotisserie chicken in the filing and refrigerated pie crust for the shell.

This meat-free version adds mushrooms and extra-firm tofu for heft and soy sauce for an extra burst of umami. The recipe also switches out pastry dough with a topping of toasted potato bread for a table-ready meal in 40 minutes.
