This recipe was passed on to me by my sister in law. The mixture of sweet Pillsbury Crescents, chicken and cream cheese is delicious, and sinful. Kids love the sweet combination and it’s definitely a recipe that will fill those bellies!
Chicken Squares
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- - 2-3 chicken breasts cut up into bite size pieces
- - 1 container Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- - 1 pkg Cream Cheese
- - chives
Instructions
- Cut up chicken and cook in a pan with a bit of water at the bottom (I prefer cooking in water with this recipe instead of oil or butter).
- Once chicken is cooked and water evaporated, transfer chicken to a bowl.
- Add the block of cream cheese on top of the chicken – the heat from the chicken should make it very easy to mix the two but if needed you can microwave the two for 30 seconds or so.
- Add chives to the mixture (preference on amount left to you, we add a couple tablespoons).
- Next, unroll the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls into squares on a cookie sheet (one can gives you 8 triangle pieces, which when made into squares gives you 4 large squares).
- Add the chicken/cream cheese/chives mixture to the middle of each square and pull the sides up into the middle like you’re wrapping a (delicious) present.
- Follow baking directions on the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls for baking time – and voila you’re done! Serve with a side of rice.
Ooh, only four ingredients! Even I can handle that!! This looks awesome, thank you for the recipe.
YUMMY- thanks for sharing. I can definitely handle this recipe! 🙂
this looks so good!!! I am going to make this…though I don’t know if my kids will eat it with chives in it (they’re weird like that).
I love the sound of this recipe, so easy! Thanks for sharing!
These sound really good. I can’t wait until the weather cools down and I can start using the oven again.
ooo this sounds so yummy i bet some onions and a bit of garlic would go great in this too def going to try this ^.^
I just made them last night. But I made a few changes:
1. I missed the part about 4 large squares 🙂 so mine came out as a perfectly sized round appetizers (8 of them)
2. It seemed to me that there will be too much filling for the amount of dough, so I cut it in half and was glad I did – it was just the right proportion.
They disappeared in minutes! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
Those look so easy and delicious! Can’t wait to give them a try!
Love this recipe. I have a similar one, but we pour cream of chicken soup on the top when they are done. Anything with crescent rolls and cream cheese is sure to be delicious!
Oh that sounds so good & the kids would love it!
OH YUM!!! I’ve been craving chicken pot pie for so long. LOOOOOOVE this idea! Seriously!!!
My kids love these! To make them more of an all-in-one meal, I always add broccoli to the chicken and cream cheese mixture.
YUM. Going to make these this week!
Thanks!
