Chicken Squares

My mother got it from a lady at her church

It's quick, easy and hearty!

Ingredients

1 3oz. Pkg. softened cream cheese

3 tbsp. Melted butter

2 cups Pre-cooked grilled chicken, cubed

1/4 tsp. Salt

1/8 tsp. Pepper

1 can Refrigerated crescent rolls

2 tbsp. Low-fat milk

1 tbsp. Freeze dried chives

3/4 cup Crushed seasoned croutons

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend cream cheese, 2 tbsp. melted margarine, milk, chives and salt and pepper until smooth. Then add cubed chicken, mix well.

2. Separate rolls into four rectangles and seal perforations. Spoon chicken mixture onto center of each rectangle. Pull the four corners of dough to center of mixture and seal. Brush tops with remaining margarine and sprinkle on crushed croutons. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cook's Notes

It's best to use pre-cooked chicken, make sure it is grilled for best flavor. I also found that if you are feeding a really hungry bunch, double the recipe and stick two rectangles together to make a larger portion. A ceasar salad makes a nice side dish.

Easy to make. Both my husband and kids (3 and 6yrs) loved it. I think I'll add a veggie to the recipe next time. But I'm excited that my kids liked something other than pizza, nuggets, and french fries!

These were okay, but I can't say they were worth the 25 grams of fat per serving. My husband liked and ate three of them (yikes!). The kids didn't go for it though.

These turned out great. Mine were more like Chicken Circles but my whole family loved them. The easy precooked chicken made these a snap!
