As part of the Life Made Delicious team of Mom Bloggers at Mom Central Canada, I have the opportunity to try out various General Mills products, share recipes and participate in discussions on cooking and healthy meal planning in our household.
This week, we have some great family friendly recipes to share with readers and I have one of our family favorites to share as well!
It’s perfect timing too, because being as pregnant as I am, I’m not in the mood to argue with the kids about how many bites are needed in order to call the meal “done” (I know I’m not the only parent that has to do this!) and some days, I can’t blame them. We all get bored with the same recipes. Hopefully one or more of these recipes will end up on your table soon!
Check out the following recipes at LifeMadeDelicious.ca:
Impossibly Easy Mac ‘n Cheese Pie
Pizza Turnovers (these look really yummy!)
Slow Cooker Glazed Pork Roast With Carrots and Corn
Mini Meat Loaves (this one made me hungry!)
Fruity Cereal Bars (nut-free!)
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!
Ingredients:
– 2-3 chicken breasts cut up into bite size pieces
– 1 container Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
– 1 pkg Cream Cheese
– chives
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 ontop 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.

Awesome job – will try out one of the sweets.
You just made me hungry 🙂
Mmmm…
Sounds good! It is really cheesy/creamy???
Not so much cheesy as it is creamy. You could probably cut back to half a block of cream cheese and it would still be yummy. 😉
This looks divine – Thanks for sharing your recipe too. Anything with ‘cream cheese’ as an ingredient is something I need to try out.
Sheri my SIL says they freeze well too but I’ve never tried – just a tip if you’re looking to stock up your freezer before baby arrives.
Ohh! The chicken squares sound really good!
