Chicken Pockets

Makes 12 pockets

I’m a BIG fan of using a rotisserie chicken for most anything I can. My favorite are from Sam’s. I buy one and use it for several things...Chicken Pockets, Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Salad, Chicken Nachos, Soups, etc. You can’t beat the taste, price or convenience. You will be a star in the kitchen!

ingredients

3 8 oz packages Crescent Rolls
8 oz. cream cheese
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Dash of garlic powder
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken. (This is about 4 chicken breasts.)

directions

1
Soften and beat together the cream cheese and butter. Then add all remaining ingredients.
2
Unroll the 3 packages of Crescent rolls into rectangles using two triangles for each. Do this 1 rectangle at a time. Trim excess off of rectangle to make it a square. Place this excess onto the seam to reinforce it. Place about 1/3 of chicken mixture into the square and fold together. Place seam side down on a cookie sheet and brush top with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake 325 for 20 minutes.
3
If freezing, do not place on a cookie sheet. Instead wrap individually in wax paper after applying butter and bread crumbs. If frozen bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
