Savory Crescent Chicken Squares

My favorite comfort food.  They take awhile to make and are not healthy at all.  But they are sooooo good and freeze beautifully.  Whenever I make them I make a big batch (like, quadruple the recipe or more) and freeze them.  We use crushed ritz crackers instead of the croutons.






Savory Crescent Chicken Squares
from Pillsbury

1 (3 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 tablespoon chopped chives or onion
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons milk
1 (8oz.) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 tablespoon margarine or butter, melted
¾ cup seasoned croutons, crushed finely

Heat oven to 350° F. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 1
tablespoon softened margarine until smooth. Add chicken, chives,
salt, pepper, milk and pimiento; mix well.
Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press
perforations to seal. Spoon ½ cup of chicken mixture onto center
of each rectangle. Pull 4 corners of dough to center of chicken
mixture; twist firmly. Pinch edges to seal. Place on ungreased
cookie sheet. Brush tops of sandwiches with 1 tablespoon melted
margarine; sprinkle with crushed croutons. Bake at 350° F. for 25
to 30 minutes or until golden brown. 4 sandwiches.

To make ahead: Crush or process croutons in food processor.
Cook (boil or microwave) chicken, cool and chop. Chop chives.
Mix together cream cheese, butter, milk, chives, salt and pepper.
Add chicken and combine. Cover and place in refrigerator until
ready to assemble.
