This is one of my favorite dinners to make. If you like chicken and you like cream cheese - you will love this. Chicken Squares™ are a savory pastry of pure chicken awesomeness.

This recipe yields 4 chicken squares. For planning purposes, I usually eat two. Jac only eats one. I’m also well on my way to fat camp. Good with side of rice pilaf and a veggie.

Ingredients:
3 oz cream cheese, softened with a spoon
3 TB of melted margarine/butter (reserve 1TB)
2 cups of cooked and cubed or shredded chicken (or turkey). I just boil the chicken. so easy, and keeps it moist. As for cubing/shredding, depends on whether you want chunks of chicken in there. I like to shred mine.
1/4 tsp of salt
1/8 tsp of pepper
2 TB milk
1 TB chopped onions or chives
1 clove garlic (optional - but i looooove garlic)
8 oz tube of Pillsbury crescent roles
3/4 cup of bread crumbs / crushed croutons

Directions:
• preheat over to 350
• blend cream cheese and 2 TB margarine until smooth - helps if margarine is already melted
• add next 6 ingredients, mix well.
• unravel the crescent roles and separate into 4 squares - NOT 8 triangles. firmly pinch together the perforation.
• if you have a small rolling pin, or big marker (washed) roll these squares out just a little.
• evenly distribute the blended chicken mixture into the middle of each square.
• pull the 4 corners up and twist together to seal. then seal the four edges by pinching together.
• brush top with reserved TB of melted margarine.
• sprinkle bread crumbs on top
• bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 20-25 mins.
• watch the bottoms, they can sometimes burn.
