Crescent Chicken Rolls

I used to make these a lot for dinner when my kids were little. Where has the time gone? :'(

1 can chunk chicken
  (or 1 cup cooked chicken, cut into small pieces)
2 T. butter, melted
3 oz. cream cheese
1 T. milk
Pillsbury crescent rolls


(In the Summer, I like to add more fresh vegetables to this recipe: chopped red peppers, fresh broccoli, tomatoes, water chestnuts, grated cheddar. You may want to try adding 1/2 can cream of chicken soup to this mixture--minus the butter and milk. Add in small amounts of each because it doesn't take much to fill the crescent rolls. You may want to use 2 packages of crescent rolls to use up the mixture.) Yummyness!

Sorry, I got distracted...

Cream together above ingredients. I use a hand mixer, the kind you use to blend drinks. Drop tablespoon of mixture into the center of each open crescent roll triangle and wrap closed. Pull up ends over top, if possible to create a little bundle. Put each bundle on a foil-lined cookie sheet. It gets messy.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until browned.

Serve with rice, potatoes & chicken gravy or just snack on these. :)
