Chicken Bundles

Ingredients:
  • 1 - 8oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • 4 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 2 - 8oz tubes crescent rolls
  • 1 cup crushed seasoned bread crumbs 
(I omit 2 tablespoons of butter and the bread crumbs.)

Preparation:
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter, chives, milk, salt and pepper until smooth
  • Stir in chicken
  • Unroll crescent rolls and separate into 8 rectangles; press perforations together
  • Spoon about a 1/2 cup of chicken mixture onto the center of each rectangle
  • Bring edges up to the center and pinch to seal
  • Brush with remaining butter
  • Sprinkle with bread crumbs, lightly pressing down
  • Transfer to 2 ungreased baking sheets
Baking:
  • Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown
Freezing instructions:
  • Freeze unbaked bundles on cookie sheet until firm
  • Transfer to covered container (I think I'd wrap individually!)
  • Freeze up to two months
  • Thaw in refrigerator
  • Bake as directed
