Chicken Puffs

SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 20 Min

This is leftover chicken at its best, and whether you serve these as pass-around appetizers or make them bigger and serve 2 on a plate as dinner appetizers, your company will think you started from scratch just for them!

What You'll Need

2 (3 ounce each) small packages cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
1 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 tablespoons diced pimentos
2 (8 ounce each) cans crescent rolls

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add chicken, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, minced onion, and pimientos; mix well.
Separate each package of crescent rolls into four rectangles. Spoon chicken filling into center of each rectangle, distributing it evenly. Bring ends up together, pinch closed, and twist.
Brush with reserved 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Place puffs on a greased baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

The 3 OZ package is not available in my local stores so 2 of those is 2/3rds of a package here in Canada. This means to not waste any I would have to make 3 times the recipe to not waste 1/3rd of the cream cheese every time! I should not be wasting food while making what looks like a tasty recipe...

Sorry, but I don't understand only a 3-star overall rating. My cousin brought these to our Xmas buffet a couple of years ago and everyone thought they were the best eating they'd had in a loooong time. I've made them since and guests have always thought they were something very special and "fussy." Correct on the first but not the second. A no-brainer to put together and oh, SO good!! A five-star from us, for sure.

These are very portable! Good for your kids' sports teams when it's your turn to provide a snack. Something different than pizza.

Very good! Have had this recipe over 20 years and the family loves it. To make it even easier than it already is I use canned chicken.

That's a good idea ruegge! I try to keep shredded chicken in the freezer, but sometimes I run out. I'm trying to make a list of pantry staples, and I think I'll add canned chicken. I don't have a big freezer, so the canned items are easier for me to store.
