What You'll Need
- 2 (3 ounce each) small packages cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
- 1 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 2 tablespoons diced pimentos
- 2 (8 ounce each) cans crescent rolls
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add chicken, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, minced onion, and pimientos; mix well.

- Place puffs on a greased baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

The 3 OZ package is not available in my local stores so 2 of those is 2/3rds of a package here in Canada. This means to not waste any I would have to make 3 times the recipe to not waste 1/3rd of the cream cheese every time! I should not be wasting food while making what looks like a tasty recipe...

Sorry, but I don't understand only a 3-star overall rating. My cousin brought these to our Xmas buffet a couple of years ago and everyone thought they were the best eating they'd had in a loooong time. I've made them since and guests have always thought they were something very special and "fussy." Correct on the first but not the second. A no-brainer to put together and oh, SO good!! A five-star from us, for sure.

These are very portable! Good for your kids' sports teams when it's your turn to provide a snack. Something different than pizza.

Very good! Have had this recipe over 20 years and the family loves it. To make it even easier than it already is I use canned chicken.

That's a good idea ruegge! I try to keep shredded chicken in the freezer, but sometimes I run out. I'm trying to make a list of pantry staples, and I think I'll add canned chicken. I don't have a big freezer, so the canned items are easier for me to store.
