Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 packages crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups plain breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, sautéed onions, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is evenly combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. For each packet, use two triangles to form a rectangle by pinching the seams together.
Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of each dough rectangle. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and forming a small packet.
Brush the tops of the packets with melted butter, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs for a golden, crispy topping.
Arrange the chicken packets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the packets to cool completely if freezing. To store, wrap each packet individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a resealable freezer bag. Label and freeze.
To reheat, bake frozen chicken packets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through.
