    Chicken Stuffed Crescents

    1, 8 ounce can reduced-fat refrigerated crescent rolls
    1 tablespoon butter, softened
    3 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese, softened
    3 tablespoons lower-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
    1 teaspoon onion, minced
    1 teaspoon celery, minced
    2 tablespoons 1 percent milk
    2 cups cooked and cubed chicken breast
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
    Butter-flavored vegetable oil
    3/4 cup crushed croutons (flavored or plain)

    Place the oven rack in the lower-middle position and begin
    heating to 350 degrees.
    Open the package of crescent rolls and leave them as
    rectangles (they normally make 8 triangles) pinching them
    together along the dotted line.
    Add the butter to a small saucepan and place over medium
    heat, when bubbling add the onion and celery and saute for
    2 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
    Remove from the heat and mix in the cream cheese and milk
    until smooth.
    Add the chicken and salt and pepper, stirring until combined.
    Take half cup of mixture and place it into the center of
    each rectangle of dough. Bring the edge of dough up and pinch
    together to seal. Spray the top and sides with the vegetable
    oil and dip the coated side into the crushed croutons, coating
    evenly. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet or jellyroll pan
    and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
    Serve immediately.
    Serves 4.
