Chicken Crescents (that I stole from Mandy)

This is me and Jeremy's all time favorite. But I can't take all the credit- I learned about them in college when Mandy made them for Jeremy and almost stole my boyfriend...good thing I learned how to make them so that he would still marry me!!!

Chicken Crescents

Ingredients:
1 full boneless skinless chicken breast (or 2 halves), cooked and cut or shredded into bite size pieces
1 package of cream cheese, softened
2 green onions, chopped
garlic powder to taste
2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough (or if you are feeling ambitious you can make your own favorite bread dough)
bread crumbs (herb seasoned bread crumbs are yummy with this recipe, but you can use plain as well)
butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream OR 1/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together chicken, softened cream cheese, green onions and garlic powder and set aside. Melt butter in bowl and set aside. Pour bread crumbs into a separate bowl and set aside. Separate crescent rolls. Place one large spoonful of chicken mixture in center of each crescent roll. Fold up corners of dough to cover the filling and seal the edges securely by pinching the dough together until none of the chicken mixture is showing (the dough should be in the shape of a ball with the chicken mixture inside.) Roll the chicken crescents in melted butter and then roll in bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet that has been covered with non fat cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown- watch closely! Heat cream of chicken soup and sour cream OR milk over low to medium heat and stir frequently. Pour over baked chicken crescents and serve hot!
Makes 16 crescent rolls….you can’t just have one!
