Fantastic! I used regular cheese and butter crescents though so I am sure that added some more flavor.

We make this recipe often -- it's a family favorite. When my daughter was 3 years old, she mistakenly called them left turnovers (since we make them when we have leftover chicken or turkey.) We call them that to this day!

I made this recipe for a PTA meeting and all who tried it loved it. I did not use reduced fat cheese and rolls, I used the regular kind instead.
