Who can resist the creamy chicken filling of these flaky pastry pockets? There's more to leftover chicken than another pot of soup...

Ingredients:

4oz. Cream cheese softened

3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided

2 cups chopped cooked chicken

2 tablespoons 2% milk

1 tablespoon chopped green onion

½  teaspoon ground black pepper

¼  teaspoon salt

8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and 2 tablespoons butter. Add chicken, milk, green onion, pepper and salt; mix well.

Divide crescent rolls and form into 4 rectangles, pressing edges together to seal. Divide chicken mixture among the rectangles. Fold dough over mixture and press edges to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and brush each packet with remaining butter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
