Source of Recipe

Once-a-Month Cooking


List of Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken
3 ounces cream cheese -- softened
1 tablespoon chives
2 tablespoons milk, skim
1/2 cup croutons, seasoned -- crumbs
2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup margarine -- melted


Recipe

Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk and salt in medium bowl (mixing with hands works best) to make filling, and store in a 1-quart freezer bag. Put crouton crumbs in another 1-quart bag, attach it to bag of chicken filling, and freeze them. Refrigerate crescent rolls.

To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture. Unroll crescent rolls. Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation. Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle halves will not separate. Place about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture into the center of each rectangle. Fold dough over the filling, and pinch the edges and seal tightly. Dip each packet in melted margarine, and coat with crouton crumbs. Place packets on baking sheet. Bake in preheated 350ºF oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Packets are good either hot or cold.

Summary Of Processes: Chop 2 cups cooked chicken. Freeze In: 2 1-quart bags
