The combination of crescent rolls and savory chicken filling was delicious. If you ever want to jazz up a chicken salad sandwich, this filling would go well on any type of bread. The ingredients blend well together. I used low fat canned chcicken as a time saver and reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat crescent rolls to save on calories. Would go well with a salad.

I've made these twice now, and my husband is now requesting them weekly! These are AMAZING! I use the reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat crescent rolls, and leave out the olives and chopped onion, and just throw in some onion powder. I stick a pot of water on the stove and heat to boiling, while I dice up chicken breasts. I cook the chicken in the boiling water (covered) with chicken seasoning. It usually takes about 3-5 minutes. By accident, I left out the milk the second time, and didn't notice a difference! I also sprinkled the squares with grated parmesan cheese instead of the croutons...that was DELICIOUS! Mine are usually done in about 18 minutes. To reheat leftovers, I put them back in the oven at 250*...much better than becoming mushy in the microwave. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that I will keep in my "go-to" recipes! :)

I tasted the meat mixture before folding them into the crescent envelopes. I used the "triangle" portions to feed a large number of my husbands firefighter co-workers. While I haven't yet tasted the entire ensemble... they look just stunning!!!! So I'm going to go ahead and give it a five star rating. Because the meat mixture was scrummy-nummy-yummy. I loaded a picture of my minis. Are they beautiful! I hope the firemen are happy.

This is a popular standard in our house. A few tweaks if they inspire anyone- I roast chicken tenders with a rotisserie chicken seasoning and pour the roasting juices into the mix. I also add sour cream instead of butter, 1/2 a packet of powdered ranch dip mix, grated onion (1 tbsp as recipe indicates), 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan and some fresh chopped parsley. I will also sub in the chopped green part of the scallion (2 tbsp) in place of the onion for some freshness if I have them on hand.
