CRESCENT CHICKEN BUNDLES
When I was expecting our third child, this was one of the meals I put in the freezer ahead of time. We now have four kids and they all like these rich chicken pockets. I've also made them with ham or smoked turkey. -Jo Groth, Plainfield, Iowa

Steps:
- 1. Gather ingredients: Preheat oven to 350 degree Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan, set aside
- 2. Cook chicken in water, drain, chop medium pieces. Chop ham into medium pieces. In a medium bowl; add chicken, ham, cream cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup green onions till well blended. set aside, and make sauce
- 3. Sauce: Sauce: In medium saucepan; mix soups, 2 cups cheese, 1/2 cup green onions, salt, pepper, and 2 cups milk until cheese melts. Set aside.
- 4. Assemble the bundles: Unroll the cans of crescent rolls. I cut each roll into 4 equal portions with a sharp knife. With your fingers; spread each portion into individual squares, large enough to hold 2 tablespoons of filling. You should have 8.
- 5. Now, fill each square with 2 heaping tablespoon fulls of chicken mixture; bring each of the 4 corners to meet and the top and squeeze closed.
- 6. Ladle some of the sauce into the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish; place the bundles in the dish.
- 7. I made a box of stove top stuffing, made balls, and placed them where I had room. ( optional)..ladel the sauce over the bundles. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, bake 45 minutes or until golden brown, or cooked through. You will probably have leftover sauce, we use it as a gravy for my sour cream, chive, mashed potatoes..is so good.
- 8. Enjoy!!
