CHICKEN BROCCOLI CRESCENT SQUARES
This is my own creation of a recipe from a local restaurant that closed. This was my favorite along with their Robert Redford Pie. That's a recreation waiting to happen too! You may choose to used canned chicken to have even less prep or make triangles,instead of squares, for appetizers. Great with a salad to complete a light meal.

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STUFFED CRESCENT ROLLS
We can do this two ways. You can dollop each individual crescent and roll them up the traditional way. Or you can leave two crescents together, pinch the seams at the perforation, making a rectangle and pile double the amount in. Then just gently pull the corners up and pinch it perfect.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with some salt and pepper and sear on one side for 5 minutes. Flip and sear for 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate to let cool for 5 minutes, then give it a good chop.
- Meanwhile, add the broccoli to a food processor and pulse until finely minced. While the chicken is resting, add the broccoli to the skillet with a pinch of salt and saute until the broccoli slightly wilts and pops in color, 3 to 5 minutes, adding a little oil if needed.
- Combine the chicken, broccoli, mozzarella, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
- Roll the crescents out two ways: You can unfold each individual triangle and dollop about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture at the thicker end, rolling it up to make sure the tip is on top. Or you can unroll two crescents together to make a rectangle, pinch them together at the perforation, dollop about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center and gently pull the corners together on top, pinching to seal.
- Place the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle each with the Parmesan and bake until golden brown on top, 14 to 20 minutes depending on their size. Serve with any dipping sauces you prefer.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Gather and prep all ingredients before starting to cook. This will make the process smoother and faster.
- Choose the Right Crescent Dough: Use a good quality crescent dough that is fresh and not too dry. If the dough is too dry, it will be difficult to work with and may not rise properly.
- Roll the Dough Thin: Roll the crescent dough out thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. This will help ensure that the dough cooks evenly and doesn't become too thick and doughy.
- Use Fresh Vegetables: Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using frozen or canned vegetables, as they can be mushy and bland.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough.
- Add Cheese for Extra Flavor: Feel free to add shredded cheese to the filling for extra flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the chicken broccoli crescent squares with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Chicken broccoli crescent squares are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
