Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (3-oz) package cream cheese softened
  • 3 Tbsp butter melted and divided
  • 2 cup cooked chicken chopped
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 3/4 cup seasoned croutons crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter until smooth.
  • Stir the chopped cooked chicken, milk, and pepper into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined; set aside.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles by pressing the perforations to seal into rectangles.
  • Divide the chicken mixture into four portions and spoon one portion into the center of each rectangle.
  • Bring the corners of each rectangle together over the filling and gently twist or pinch to seal into a packet.
  • Brush each packet with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter, then press each packet into the crushed seasoned croutons to coat the exterior.
  • Place the packets on an ungreased baking sheet and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
