So, I came across this recipe in a very roundabout way. My friend/neighbor visited my cousin in Atlanta a few years ago and made me chicken croissants when she came back. She got the recipe from my cousin who got it from my aunt - small world! Anyway...mix the following together:
4T cream cheese
1T butter
1T milk
salt and pepper (I like a lot of pepper in this)
1 can chicken or about 2c shredded chicken
There are 2 methods of making the croissants. The first way I learned is to take 1 can of crescent rolls and make 4 squares. You put a dollop of the chicken mixture in each one and fold them up. I used to do that, but then got lazy. Now I put half the crescent rolls on the bottom of an 8in square pan, top with the chicken, then top with the rest of the crescent rolls - much easier. Either way, top them with a mixture of butter and crushed croutons. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. This goes great with broccoli!
I made these open faced, and I liked them much better. I added chopped celery and mayo to the recipe, I spread the mixture onto the rolled out crescent and topped it with shredded baby swiss and crouton crumbs. I baked it for 18 min. at 375 degrees.
