Poppy Seed Chicken Baseballs Weight Watchers Style image

This is a variation on the popular, Weight Watchers cult-like recipe, Chicken Baseballs. I am told the basic recipe is 8 points per serving. Paired with a green salad, this makes a fantastic dinner. I tried this variation based on an old, but very high fat recipe that my family loved - This lighter recipe really tastes great, and the kids love it, too!

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ounces light cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons light margarine or 2 teaspoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons nonfat milk
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, cut up
1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls
8 Ritz crackers, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add cream cheese, margarine, salt, pepper, milk, and poppy seeds in small bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds and stir.
  • Pour mixture over cooked, finely cubed chicken and stir.
  • Divide chicken mixture into 4 portions.
  • Separate dough into four rectangles, careful to seal perforations. Two triangles will make up each rectangle.
  • Lay each rectangle over a pinch of the cracker crumbs to keep them from sticking to your work surface, then add 1/4 of the chicken into the middle of each, pull up the corners, then seal the edges to make a "baseball" shape. Then sprinkle a small amount of cracker crumbs over the entire area of the dough, and place seam side down on parchment lined cookie sheet, or an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
