Chicken Broccoli Crescent Squares image

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 CRESCENT SQUARES



Chicken Crescent Squares image

I am a mother of 3 and married to a farmer...we use products off our farm to cook with. I have been collecting old time recipes for years - trying to teach my kids how it was in the "olden days." This is a family favorite of ours! I believe the time at the dinner table is very important and something that has been lost this...

Provided by Lori Marie

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp milk
2 c cooked cubed/shredded chicken
1/4 tsp each salt & pepper
1/4 Tbsp each onion powder & garlic powder (or more - to taste)
1 (8 oz.) pkg crescent rolls
1 can(s) cornbread stuffing, crushed
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can(s) milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl blend softened cream cheese, melted butter & milk. Mix in chicken & seasonings. Seperate crescent rolls into 4 rectangles. Firmly press performations to seal. Spoon 1/2 C. mixture into the center of each roll. Pull four corners of roll to the top center and twist slightly to seal. Press edges together to seal sides. Place in greased 9×13. Spray tops w/ cooking spray and sprinkle crushed stuffing/croutons on top. Bake @ 350 for 25 min, uncovered. Top w/ gravy or soup mixture, and more crushed croutons/stuffing and bake an addition 10-15 min.
  • 2. *I made a chicken gravy for this. I used about 1 C. chicken broth (heated on stovetop). Mix 1/2 C. milk with 1/4 C. flour - whisk or use a "shaker" to blend. Pour slowly into broth to make gravy thicken. OR you can mix a can of cream of mushroom soup w/ about a half can of milk for a quick gravy.
