Ingredients:
2 cup cooked, chopped chicken
3 oz package cream cheese softened
1 tbsp chopped chives
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup crushed, seasoned crouton crumbs
2 package refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup melted margarine
Instructions:
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
quart freezer bag. Put crouton crumbs in another 1 quart bag, attach
it to bag of chicken filling, and freeze them. Refrigerate crescent
rolls.
To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture. Unroll crescent rolls.
Each tube will contain 4 rectanngles of dough with a diagonal
perforation. Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle
halves will not separate. Place about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture into
the center of each rectangle. Fold dough over the filling, and pinch
the edges to seal tightly. Dip each packet in melted margarine, and
coat with crouton crumbs. Place packets on a baking sheet. Bake in a
preheated 350 oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Pakcets are
good either hot or cold. Makes 8 packets.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"We were not satisfied with the qualities which nature gave to poultry; art stepped in and, under the pretext of improving fowls, has made martyrs of them." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
