Haven't tasted it yet but just put it in the oven, the only modification I made was to use chicken cutlets instead of full breasts to cut the fat & cholesterol . This is the easiest dish I've made in a long time! Plus it's pretty, even before it's cooked!

I make a very similar recipe but I do pre-cook the chicken first; I spread the onion-chive cream cheese mixture on 1/4 sheet of puff pastry; top with chicken, then I wrap swiss cheese slice into the ham first to prevent it from leaking out, then wrap the puff pastry like a present. My family loves this meal!

My biggest hint: use two chicken breasts instead of four and slice them in half horizontally. The meat cooks fully by the time the crescent rolls become brown (if not sure about the meat being fully done even then, just pop into the microwave for a minute after baking, that usually takes care of it.) Our family really enjoys this recipe!

OK, this is a really good recipe and everything but I do like my chicken fully cooked please - I looked at the recipe and decided the chicken would definitely need pre-cooking a bit. I pre-cooked it for about 12 mins and then assembled them and cooked for AGES longer - the pastry and ham bits were a bit past it by the time the chicken was finally done. Next time I will fully cook the chicken first.

This recipe is easy and delicious. I cooked it for 25 minutes, covering the cookie sheet with foil after the first 15 minutes to protect the pastry from burning, and it came out perfectly. I also used a light/medium colored cookie sheet. I suspect if I had used a dark nonstick cookie sheet, the pastry would have burned.

This is very quick and easy to make. It is a huge sucess at our house. We have had it at least once every other week for about 3 months now. Has a good blend of flavors.

This tasted delicious, however, the crescent roll baked faster than the chicken did so that part was a little bit overdone. I think next time I am going to use chicken cutlets instead of breasts. The cream cheese makes this recipe wonderful and it's so nice and easy to make.

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!
