Chicken Packets
I was looking through some once a month cooking recipes earlier and I found this recipe for chicken packets. It uses already cooked chicken so it’s quick and easy. Not much clean up either.
Chicken Packets
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (3 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
Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk, and salt in a medium bowl (mixing with hands works best) to make filling
To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Unroll crescent rolls.
Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation.
Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle halves will not separate.
Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each rectangle.
Fold dough over the filling, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Dip each packet in melted margarine, and coat with crouton crumbs.
Place packets on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
