Ingredients

  • 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1/4 cup spreadable chive and onion cream cheese
  • 4 thin slices deli ham
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Place ham widthwise over dough. Arrange chicken in center of each rectangle. Wrap ham around chicken. At each long end, pinch dough together around chicken, forming points.

This is one of our family's favorites. There are never any leftovers. Be careful about oven temps and darkening the crust too much to get meat done.

I have made this recipe countless times, both for just my husband and I, as well as for friends. Everyone LOVES it! I make it exactly as the recipe states (though I usually add a bit more cream cheese to my pastry), and there's never any leftovers! This recipe was long ago added to my Family Favorites Book! SO good!
