Crescent Chicken

This is all around yumminess. This is Pillsbury's recipe I changed up a bit. You probably won't want to eat just one. My boys LOVED them (they love crescent rolls, so having chicken inside was bonus). Serves 4.

Crescent Chicken

1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened*

1 Tbsp butter, softened

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

3 pieces of bacon or 1/2 c diced ham

1 Tbsp chopped onion

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 Tbsp pepper

2 Tbsp milk

1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1 Tbsp butter, melted

1/2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed

1. Cook bacon if using, just until cooked and not crispy. If using ham, cook it until just browning on the outside. Set aside on plate (covered with paper towel if using bacon). In same pan, cook cubed chicken pieces until no longer pink.

2. Beat cream cheese and softened butter in medium bowl until smooth. Add chicken, bacon, onion, salt, pepper, and milk; mix well.
3. Separate dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press triangular perforations to seal. Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto center of each rectangle. Pull 4 corners of dough to center of chicken mixture; twist firmly and pinch edges to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops of sandwiches with melted butter and sprinkle with crushed croutons.
3. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
 

*I could not find a 3 oz package of cream cheese, so I bought a 8 oz cube and used a butter knife to mark off 8 sections (half it, then half those, then half them again and you have 8 equal pieces). Then I cut off three of those and called it 3 ounces.
