Chicken Packets - Recipe

Ok so I thought I would post our dinner tonight. It was really easy - and if you only eat ONE, it's not that high in calories.

Here's what you'll need:
2 cans crescent rolls (I got reduced fat)
Italian Bread Crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
4 oz cream cheese (lowfat)
1 lg can chicken (or 2 cups regular cooked chicken breast)
2 tablespoons milk Let's Get Started:
Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a rectangular baking sheet with Pam. Unroll the first package of crescent rolls. Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation. Press along diagonal perforation to seal together and arrange on baking sheet.

Mix chicken, softened cream cheese, and milk a large bowl. Then I mix in the chicken and milk. Stir that up really good, then start spooning it into the middle of each rectangle. Make sure you leave some room on the edges so you can seal the packets. Open the second package of crescent rolls and lay those 4 rectangles over your chicken mixture.

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small bowl and brush over packets. Sprinkle on seasoned breadcrumbs.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crescent rolls are cooked through.

ENJOY!
