chicken packets

In case no one's noticed yet... I could live with one kind of meat in my freezer - chicken! It's yummy, it's healthy and it doesn't make you feel like you ate 5 meals in one. For living in a community... actually province that is made up of beef farmers, it's almost a sacrilege to say you don't dig beef. But honestly? I don't. I like my prime rib at The Keg about once a year, and that's absolutely all I crave in the beef department. But chicken! And today while cruising around Amanda's gorgeous site, I came across this incredible recipe called "Chicken Packets". And you know what? I'm going to post the recipe here, just because I like to be able to find it later... but please visit her website - an experience in itself!

Chicken Packets

2 cups cooked, chopped chicken

1 (3 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp milk

2 pkgs refrigerated crescent rolls

2 tbsp butter, melted

1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 350*. Spray rectangular baking sheet with Pam. Mix chicken, cream cheese, and milk in a large bowl. Unroll crescent rolls. Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation. Press along diagonal perforation to seal together. Spoon chicken mixture into the center of 4 rectangles. Place the other 4 rectangles over the filling and pinch the edges together of seal tightly. Brush each packet with melted butter and coat with breadcrumbs. Bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 4 packets.

P.S. I actually added sauteed mushrooms and it was delish! This recipe is so cool because it looks like you slaved for hours making it, but actually it's the easiest thing I've ever made! And it would be great as an appetizer if you made each packet about 1/4 the size. Enjoy!
