Crescent Roll Chicken

This is a quick meal for working parents during the week, and a great cheat for an appetizer at parties. Simply allow to cool after baking and slice into sections and serve with a salsa or cheese sauce.



1 can crescent rolls
2 cups chicken; cooked and chopped
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese; softened
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 jar pimento
1 cup garlic and onion croutons; crushed
1 Butter; melted
-----------
  • Mix mayonnaise and pimento with the cream cheese, and add the chopped chicken, being careful not to break the chicken pieces into smaller bits.
  • Use 2 crescent rolls for each serving by making them into a square. Pinch the dough together to form one piece.
  • Use about 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture and pour over the square. Then fold the square over and pinch the edges together to seal the chicken inside. Repeat this procedure until all the chicken is used.
  • Brush each of the chicken squares with melted butter and roll in the garlic and onion croutons to make a crispy topping.
  • Bake in a 350°F oven until golden brown (about 8-10 minutes)

Notes: These squares can be made ahead of time, as they freeze quite well prior to rolling them into the crouton mixture.

Go crazy! Add jalapenos, bacon, broccoli, corn or ham to the mixture.
