Equipment

Baking Sheet
Mixing bowl
Or stand mixer optional

Ingredients

6 ounces cream cheese
6 Tablespoons butter melted, then divided
4 cups chicken shredded or cubed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
4 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons onion finely chopped
2 Tablespoons pimientos
16 ounces crescent roll dough (2 8-ounce cans)
2 Tablespoons panko crumbs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake and shred or cube chicken until you have 4 cups. I use two large or 3 medium size breasts.
Mix the cream cheese, half the butter, shredded or cubed chicken, salt, pepper, milk, chopped onions and pimientos. Stir until combined.
Open crescent rolls and put two crescent rolls side by side to create a rectangle and press seams together.
Fill the crescent roll with 1/8th of the chicken mixture and pull the corners of the roll over the mixture. Press the edges together.
Repeat 8 times.
Brush each crescent square with remaining melted butter and sprinkle some panko on top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

Notes

I didn't include the time needed to bake your chicken in the recipe, but if you don't start with cooked and shredded chicken, add about 45 minutes to the time.
This is a great recipe to use up shredded chicken from the freezer.
It's really easy to shred the chicken and stir the filling in a stand mixer, but you can stir it by hand, too!
