===== Ingredients =====

  * 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  * 1 (6 -8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  * 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
  * 2 tablespoons milk
  * salt
  * 1⁄2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed to crumbs
  * 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  * 1⁄4 cup melted margarine or butter

===== Directions =====

  - 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 qt freezer bag.

  - Refrigerate crescent rolls.
  - To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture.
  - Preheat oven to 350°F.
  - Unroll crescent rolls.
  - Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation.
  - Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle halves will not separate.

  - 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 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  - Packets are good either hot or cold
