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!

Yum! I served these with soup for a quick after church meal. I made 16 small filled triangles instead of 8 large squares. This would be perfect thing to make to use up any leftover chicken or turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. the only problem with this recipe is that they taste too good!(I am really trying to WATCH how much I eat and I SAW myself eating way too many of these!!) Thanks for posting this great recipe!

I thought that this was good and my family thought it was okay and had potential. We all thought it needed some spice. When I make it next, I will add some italian spices or the McCormicks Montreal Seasoning for chicken. Thanks for this good recipe and all the others! We get to benefit from your hard work and experience! BarbieinTn

My family loves these! When I was growing up, my mom made these for special occasions. We called them Chicken Squares. I make them frequently. I make them up, and flash freeze them. They are good in the freezer for up to 12 weeks. To cook, just let them thaw to room temp, then cook as usual.

YUMMY! Five stars--no doubt! I loved these. DH said he'd halve the cream cheese but I'm a cream cheese freak, so it STAYS! I also added 1 c. frozen chopped broccoli (nuked 45 sec), a sprinkle of cheddar, and a tiny shake of dry minced onions (used no chives). Oh and 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk (to use it up from another recipe). I'm curious to see how it reheats...but they smelled heavenly and tasted sinful the first time around. Note: I used generic crescents no prob and 3 cans of cooked Tyson chicken cause I don't "do" chicken. Great recipe. UPDATE: I WAS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT REHEATING THIS THE NEXT DAY AFTER IT BEING IN THE FRIDGE. I NUKED IT 1 MIN AND IT WAS ALL SOGGY AND NASTY FEELING. SO I POPPED IT IN THE TOASTER OVEN ON 300 DEG. FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT CAME OUT NICE AND GOLDEN AND CRISPY AGAIN! YAY!

This was so good! My family devoured it and it made a TON!! Which is good when you have 3 preteens to feed who have holes in thier legs. I doubled the recipe and will make the rest another night. It took a long time to prep, but it will be great to make on a busy night now that all the prep work is done. I also added a little sour cream and garlic and it was delicious. Thanks for another great meal!

EXCELLENT!! Rich center with light and flaky crust. I used stove top instead of croutons.

DH said "these are a keeper!" and I totally agree! I did use a full 8oz cream cheese, and added to the chicken/cheese mix: Sour cream, italian spices, and seasoned salt... also added 2 celery stalks, 2 cloves garlic, and 2 onion slices, all sauteed. I then added some cayenne pepper and 1/4 cup parmesean cheese to the crouton mixture. I was going to use Ritz crackers as the crust but I'm so glad I used croutons... it was the best crust I'd ever tasted. I raved about the crust and and DH absolutely loved the creamy middle. These puff up nice and pretty and they are extremely filling. Half this recipe for 2 people! We ended up with lots of leftovers but they are already getting snatched up as we speak! Thanks for the wonderful recipe and I can't wait to make this again!

I had to review this because I have been making these for more then ten years now. These are one of are families all time favorites and like other readers we have over the years adapted this to our own taste, first we use 8oz of cream cheese because we love cream cheese and it does make it creamier yummier, add extra chives and onion powder. I usually us an entire chicken that I boil and season the water well, makes it more taste Then to save on crabs fat work and a lot of mess we do not do the crotons at all. Not using the crotons also eliminates the croissant form not being all the way cooked. I make multiple batches, after we get our fill; I freeze two in one sandwich size bag, one never being enough, from freezer to lunchbox ready to eat at noon. They reheat nice, and they are fantastic cold too. They are like pouches of Gold! Try turkey after Thanksgiving.
