I have started to accumulate a ridiculous recipe list on my computer. Anytime I am browsing through recipes online and I see one I like, I copy and paste the link to what has become a massive list. For the moment, it is working, but I think I need to come up with a better system.
This past weekend, a friend hosted a potluck and I volunteered to bring an appetizer. So, I scrolled through my trusty list and found this recipe that I had saved months ago for garlic chicken puffs. It looked simple enough and like it could feed a crowd.
The puffs were simple to make and they went over well with everyone there, but I think if I make them again I will try and add more flavor. They were just a little too bland for me. Maybe a dipping sauce would help. I can definitely see making these again for a tailgate or something like that.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken*
- 2 cans refrigerator crescent rolls
Mix cream cheese, garlic and chicken until well blended. *For the chicken I cooked 3 small chicken breasts on my George Foreman and then broke them up into small pieces with a fork and knife.
Unroll crescent rolls and cut each triangle into 2 smaller triangles
Place 1 tsp of chicken mixture on the center of each triangle and fold the corners in over the creamy mixture.
Place on cookie sheet, lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with no stick spray. Bake at 375 for 12-14 mins.
