Another Once a month meal that's sure to please. My little girl likes these because they pick up easily in her hands! *I revised this recipe based on several folks pointing out that I had made a mistake on the amount of cream cheese. Thank you so much for the input!

SERVES 8 , 8 packets (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (6-8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
2 tablespoons milk
salt
1/2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed to crumbs
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/4 cup melted margarine

Directions

1
Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk, and salt in a medium bowl (mixing with hands works best) to make filling, and store in a 1 qt freezer bag.
2
Put crouton crumbs in another 1 qt bag, attach it to bag of chicken filling, and freeze.
3
Refrigerate crescent rolls.
4
To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture.
5
Preheat oven to 350°F.
6
Unroll crescent rolls.
7
Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation.
8
Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle halves will not separate.
9
Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each rectangle.
10
Fold dough over the filling, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
11
Dip each packet in melted margarine, and coat with crouton crumbs.
12
Place packets on a baking sheet.
13
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
14
Packets are good either hot or cold.

I made these this week, and they were wonderful! The filling is delicious, and the rolls cooked very nicely around everything. Thank you!

I found these very bland when made as written which is what should be reviewed. It needs something else like cayenne or red pepper chunks to give it some flavor. The packets are a great idea but the recipe as written is not very good unless you are looking for bland mushy food. It also took 30 minutes to totally cook so the croissants were actually brown and not mushy.

I cut this recipe in half to feed our family of three, and we ended up with one left-over for a late night snack. I could not eat more than one...they were so filling! I made these up a month ago and put the chicken in a small ziplock bag, and the crushed croutons in another small ziplock, and then threw them both along with the printed recipe in a large ziplock and froze the whole she-bang for use on a busy night. (also, putting the recipe right in the bag will enable my husband to cook this when I am not around) Well, tonight was that busy night! I pulled them out of the freezer this morning and thawed in the refrigerator. Made them up tonight and they were a HUGE hit!! Absolutely delicious and simple to make. This is an awesome OAMC meal! I did have to double the crushed croutons, but in retrospect, perhaps I didn't crush them enough so had to have more? Either way, this is a keeper. Thaks for posting Tish!

Absolutely delicious! Everyone at my table liked it, from 5yrs old to 46 On the ingredient list it says a 3oz package of cream cheese - I used 8 oz. I'm not sure if that was a mistake or not. In any case this was a definate winner!
