Ranch Chicken Packets
Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 5:20PM This is based on a recipe my neighbor Kelly gave me. Kelly is a freeze ahead cook extraordinaire so I've included her notes. Feel free to use the "light" version of all ingredients.
2 cups cooked chicken, diced small
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp Ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 packages Crescent Rolls
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Mix chicken, cream cheese, Ranch dressing and shredded Cheddar together. Taste mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
(To freeze ahead: Place filling mixture in a freezer bag. Place bread crumbs in another bag and attach to filling bag. Freeze. Refrigerate crescent rolls. To serve, thaw chicken mixture and proceed as directed.)
Preheat oven to 350. Unroll crescent rolls. Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough. Press dough along diagonal perforations so that the rectangle halves will not separate. Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken into the center of one half of the rectangle. Fold other half over and seal edges tightly.
Brush each packet with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 8.

That sounds SO good! Although I think that anything made with Pillsbury crescent rolls is bound to be scrumptious!
It's true. You just can't go wrong with Crescent Rolls. I even used the lower fat version here and they were delicious.
Oh, I will definitely be trying this one out! This has "kid-friendly" written all over it!
Thanks!
