These are very good. You can also make them smaller using the "triangle" instead of the "square" and have as an appetizer instead of the main course.

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

I've made this recipe several times already but have never remembered to rate it. It's fast, easy, and DELISH!!! Pillsbury now makes crescent sheets, which makes this so much more easier to prepare. It's become a favorite in my home!!! Thanks for sharing....

    My Bride and I agree with all the positive reviews. Very easy and very satisfying. Next time I am going to use Tuna in place of the Chicken. Also, the Mushroom idea sounds good. Thanks for the recipe. C/J

    This wasn't the exact recipe I was looking for, but I think I can comfortably stop looking. It was easy and yummy, and I had 0 complaints. I didn't have any croutons so I used bread crumbs instead, and 3/4 c. would certainly have been overkill - I only used about 2 T, and I think I'll skip it next time, but will still brush with butter. I used 4oz cream cheese, and didn't add olives.

    Wow, I got raves when I served these to friends for a casual dinner . I tripled the recipe to make 12 bundles and added 2 cloves of garlic and about a cup of shredded cheddar. I didn't use the full amount of crushed croutons - I don't know why, but it didn't 'stick' to the bundles like I thought. These would be so versatile to get some veggies in - finely chopped celery & carrots or mushrooms & broccoli would go great in these. I used light cream cheese and light crescent rolls with no compromise to the taste. Thanks
