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.

Delicious!! My family loved it! Easy to make and tastes great! The only one that didn't like it was my daughter. She is my picky eater. I just kept some of the chicken and a few crescent rolls separate for her. Served with a salad and vegetable. Very good!

My husband is on Weight Watchers, and loved these! They are 4 points a piece. Next time I will be adding some veggies.

Great recipe! It was super easy to make and tasted yummy! I love that it is under 400 calories per serving, yet is rich and filling! I think next time I make it, I will add peas or carrots. I recommend this recipe to everyone!
