Requested: Chicken Puffs!

Happy Sunday Everyone! 

Today has been a good one, with beautiful weather, a WIN for the Eagles, and a day spent in the kitchen! Mom made ribs and chili earlier and I followed behind her with this throw-back recipe for Chicken Puffs. My mom used to make these all of the time, but I don't remember since I was so young. Luckily my dad put in a request for these so here they are! 

You will need the following:

2 cups of chopped, cooked chicken

3 oz. cream cheese

2 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 tablespoon pepper

1/2 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon chives

1 can of crescent rolls

some more melted butter.. for coating your puffs

Bread crumbs

This is honestly one of the easiest recipes ever, so I know why my mom made them all the time.

Start off by using a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese and melted butter. Then mix in your chopped chicken, pepper, salt and chives. 

Then take your crescent rolls and combine two individual rolls to make a rectangle. You will be able to make four rectangles from one can of dough. 

Drop a large spoonful of your chicken mix onto the dough and bring up the corners to form a pouch. Just keep pinching where there are openings until the pouch is sealed. These do not need to look pretty so its super easy! 

Take each puff and dip the top in melted butter and then roll the puff into bread crumbs. My mom used to use crushed up italian croutons for bread crumbs, but I used panko for some extra crunch. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. 

Eat them up! These are the definition of comfort food and great for a cool fall night. Thank you to my dad for requesting these! Everyone is happy to have them in the house!! Try making these yourselves with different chicken mixtures - BBQ or Buffalo Chicken maybe!
