Chicken Packets (Oamc) image

Another Once a month meal that's sure to please. My little girl likes these because they pick up easily in her hands! *I revised this recipe based on several folks pointing out that I had made a mistake on the amount of cream cheese. Thank you so much for the input!

Time 40m

Yield 8 packets, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (6 -8 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

Steps:

  • Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk, and salt in a medium bowl (mixing with hands works best) to make filling, and store in a 1 qt freezer bag.
  • Put crouton crumbs in another 1 qt bag, attach it to bag of chicken filling, and freeze.
  • Refrigerate crescent rolls.
  • To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 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.
  • Packets are good either hot or cold.
