SERVES 8 , 8 packets

2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (6-8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
2 tablespoons milk

salt
1/2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed to crumbs
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls *see recipe*
1/4 cup melted margarine
  1. Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk, and salt in a medium bowl (mixing with hands works best) to make filling, and store in a 1 qt freezer bag.
  2. Put crouton crumbs in another 1 qt bag, attach it to bag of chicken filling, and freeze.
  3. Refrigerate crescent rolls.
  4. To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Unroll crescent rolls.
  7. Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation.

  11. Dip each packet in melted margarine, and coat with crouton crumbs.
