#1910 - Cream Cheese Chicken

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 - 3oz. Philadelphia cream cheese (cut into small pieces)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 TBSP milk
3 TBSP butter
2 TBSP chopped onions
2 cups cooked chicken (cut into bite sized pieces)

In a saucepan over low heat add 2 TBSP butter, milk, chopped onions, salt and pepper--stir/cook until onions are caramelized. Add cream cheese pieces--stir/cook until all cream cheese melts. Add chicken pieces--stir cook until chicken is hot. Grease an 8 x 8 baking dish--unroll the crescent roll dough and place 1/2 of the crescent roll dough in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Pour the hot chicken mixture over the crescent roll dough. Place the other half of the crescent roll dough over the top of the chicken mixture. Melt the last 1 TBSP of butter and use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter all over the top of the crescent roll dough. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until hot.
