Chicken Packages

These were a family favorite when I was a kid, and I love how quick and easy they are to make!

Ingredients:

2 packages of crescent rolls (16 rolls, total)
24 oz shredded chicken (2 cans or you can cook your own)
4 tbsp butter (divided)
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder (I used dried minced onions)
1 tbsp bread crumbs (can be omitted if you don't have it on hand)
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and soften the cream cheese and 2 tbsp of the butter (10 second intervals in the microwave works best for me).

2.  Mix the butter & cream cheese with the shredded chicken.  Add in the garlic and onion powder.

3.  Combine 2 crescent rolls to make a square, pinching and pressing the seams together.  Repeat until you have 8 squares.  Place them on a greased cookie sheet.  (I bought the "big and fluffy" rolls, so I did 4 large squares rather than 8 regular-sized ones.)

4.  Divide the chicken mixture into 8 portions and spoon onto the dough.  Pull the corners of the dough together around the chicken mixture and pinch the seams closed.

 

5.  Melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter.  Add the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.  Brush each chicken package with the butter mixture.

6.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden.

Chicken packages go great with veggies and a yummy dessert!
