Measuring Spoons and Cups
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

(2) 8 ounce cans, crescent rolls
1 pound cooked shredded chicken
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 green onion, diced
1 small green pepper, diced
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet by either spraying with non-stick spray or placing a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet, set aside.
Open the tube of crescent rolls, and lay out the dough. The croissants come in triangles, but you will want to turn them into rectangles. Pinch 2 of the triangles together. You may need to flip the other side and pinch as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, chopped green onion, diced green pepper, unsalted butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Place ¼ cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each prepared crescent rectangle. Take each corner of the roll and bring it to the center, over the chicken. They will form small bundles. Repeat this process for all the crescents.
Place the prepared crescents on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, the crescents will be golden brown.
Remove and serve.

Storage:

Leftovers can be stored in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer Instructions: Chicken stuffed crescent rolls can be prepared ahead and frozen for use at a later date.

I recommend baking them and flash freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour.

Then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 4 months.

Defrost the chicken crescent rolls in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 10 minutes.
