Chicken Squares

Contributed By: kellyp
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.

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

I have been making these for my children for 10 years. My sister - in - law gave me the recipe. Test your filling before you stick them in the oven, as they can tend to be a bit dry. You can also add any cream of soup to add different flavors, and veggies too! Be creative, and listen to your critics!!
