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.

These were delicious and dissappeared quickly. I used about 1/3 cup of mushrooms instead of the olives. I had quite alot of filling left though so I made some pastry, cut into rounds, spooned on the mixture, folded in half and crimped the edges with a fork. They turned out great too!

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

I made the appetizer version of these for a cocktail party and they were great! I followed another reviewer and used 1/3 less fat crm. cheese and it tasted just fine that way. I used a rotisserie chicken from the deli since I was short on cooking time and I can't stand canned chicken and I think that added to the flavor a lot! I omitted the olives since I din't have any and added 1 can mushroom pieces b/c I did have that. Made into small squares and brushed with butter and sprinkled on seasoned bread crumbs. Love them! Thanks so much!!

My grandmother used to make these! I use her recipe which is the same except no olives. She used to also use tuna sometimes instead of chicken, omit the salt if you do use tuna. I sometimes use different flavored croutons..such as ranch,or garlic and onion-gives it a little kick.

The combination of crescent rolls and savory chicken filling was delicious. If you ever want to jazz up a chicken salad sandwich, this filling would go well on any type of bread. The ingredients blend well together. I used low fat canned chcicken as a time saver and reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat crescent rolls to save on calories. Would go well with a salad.

I tried this one with fat free cream cheese, pre-made biscuit dough, celery, mushrooms, onions, and chicken. Delicious! Thanks for an easy alternative to a box dinner. Leftovers kept well, and were great nuked!

These are so easy and good! I made them a little different by pressing 4 of the crescent rolls into the bottom of a greased 8x8 pan, putting the fillling on top, and then putting the remaining 4 crescent on top of that, and finally sprinkling the croutons(about 1/2 cup) over it! Hubby and I both loved these! Thanks for the great recipe, Lauren! Will definitely be making these again!

These were a big hit with my kids! There was plenty of filling so I used 2 pkgs of rolls. I also just folded them over to make squares instead of pulling up the corners. They were like hot pockets. Of course I had to omit the olives so my kids would even try them. I'll be making these again, thanks!!

I made this recipe for lunch today because I had all the ingredients on hand. I thought it was really good and my family enjoyed it too. I used light cream cheese and only 1 tablespoon of butter. The croutons added a nice crunch.
