CHICKEN BROCCOLI CRESCENT SQUARES
This is my own creation of a recipe from a local restaurant that closed. This was my favorite along with their Robert Redford Pie. That's a recreation waiting to happen too! You may choose to used canned chicken to have even less prep or make triangles,instead of squares, for appetizers. Great with a salad to complete a light meal.

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STUFFED CRESCENT ROLLS
We can do this two ways. You can dollop each individual crescent and roll them up the traditional way. Or you can leave two crescents together, pinch the seams at the perforation, making a rectangle and pile double the amount in. Then just gently pull the corners up and pinch it perfect.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with some salt and pepper and sear on one side for 5 minutes. Flip and sear for 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate to let cool for 5 minutes, then give it a good chop.
- Meanwhile, add the broccoli to a food processor and pulse until finely minced. While the chicken is resting, add the broccoli to the skillet with a pinch of salt and saute until the broccoli slightly wilts and pops in color, 3 to 5 minutes, adding a little oil if needed.
- Combine the chicken, broccoli, mozzarella, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
- Roll the crescents out two ways: You can unfold each individual triangle and dollop about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture at the thicker end, rolling it up to make sure the tip is on top. Or you can unroll two crescents together to make a rectangle, pinch them together at the perforation, dollop about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center and gently pull the corners together on top, pinching to seal.
- Place the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle each with the Parmesan and bake until golden brown on top, 14 to 20 minutes depending on their size. Serve with any dipping sauces you prefer.

These are very good. You can also make them smaller using the "triangle" instead of the "square" and have as an appetizer instead of the main course.

Tips:
- For a crispy crust, use refrigerated crescent roll dough that is cold when you start working with it. If the dough is too warm, it will be difficult to work with and the crust will not be as crispy.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, cook it over medium heat and do not overcook it. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a baking sheet, you can also bake the crescent squares in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- To make the crescent squares ahead of time, simply assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Then, bake them according to the recipe instructions.
