[Pizza Hut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matcha-cheese-stuffed-crust-pizza) Malaysia recently introduced a dish called the 'Loaded Pockets Pizza,' which puts a creative twist on the concept of stuffed crust. In the past, Pizza Hut has filled its crust with everything from sausage rolls to [meat pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-pie-crust-pizza). Now the chain is offering consumers something slightly different in the form of a creamy filling.

The new Loaded Pockets Pizza is a regular pizza surrounded by a ring of overstuffed crusty pockets that are oozing with a creamy chicken and mushroom filling. The pizza comes in two varieties, one of which includes beef and another that includes sweet spiced chicken.

Although the idea of a creamy chicken filling may not sound like the tastiest pizza accompaniment, the filling is similar to the dipping sauces that have become popular among consumers.
