My husband and I absolutely loved these. I couldn't believe it when my husband kept saying how good they are, because he is a real "Beef" and potatoes kind of guy.

Like another reviewer I used muffin tins to make this dish. I used 10 oz canned chicken, 4 oz cream cheese, and 2 Tablespoons of diced Roasted red bell pepper. I also needed two packs of crescent rolls and put a heaping tablespoon inside each triangle. Sealed them anyway they would and topped with the melted butter and roasted garlic flavored breadcrumbs. They're pretty and easy to handle in the muffin tin method. 350 degrees for about 17-20 minutes worked for me.

Overall, this was a pretty tasty recipe. But, I did change a few things. After I put the chicken mixture in the middle of the rectangle I topped it with a tsp. or two of canned diced chiles and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. I also took out the pimento since we don't care for them and I used an extra can of crescent rolls to cover the tops instead of folding the rectangle over. Very tasty and versatile recipe! Thanks!
