  • “These were delicious and dissappeared quickly.I used about 1/3 cup of mushrooms instead of the olives.I had quite alot of filling left thoughso I made some pastry, cut into rounds, spooned on the mixture, folded in half and crimped the edges with a fork. They turned out great too!”

  • “The combination of crescent rolls and savory chicken filling was delicious. If you ever want to jazz up a chicken salad sandwich, this filling would go well on any type of bread. The ingredients blend well together. I used low fat canned chcicken as a time saver and reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat crescent rolls to save on calories. Would go well with a salad.”

  • “I’ve made these twice now, and my husband is now requesting them weekly!These are AMAZING!I use the reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat crescent rolls, and leave out the olives and chopped onion, and just throw in some onion powder. I stick a pot of water on the stove and heat to boiling, while I dice up chicken breasts.I cook the chicken in the boiling water (covered) with chicken seasoning. It usually takes about 3-5 minutes.By accident, I left out the milk the second time, and didn’t notice a difference!I also sprinkled the squares with grated parmesan cheese instead of the croutons…that was DELICIOUS!Mine are usually done in about 18 minutes.To reheat leftovers, I put them back in the oven at 250*…much better than becoming mushy in the microwave.Thanks for a wonderful recipe that I will keep in my “go-to” recipes! :)”

  • “My Bride and I agree with all the positive reviews. Very easy and very satisfying. Next time I am going to use Tuna in place of the Chicken. Also, the Mushroom idea sounds good.Thanks for the recipe.C/J”

  • “My husband and I loved them! Sprinkled some Italian bread crumbs instead of the croutons, otherwise as directed.My 6 year old complained but ate it, but that’s normal about anything new.Quick to throw together too!”

  • “Yummy! I used shredded BBQ chicken and panko bread crumbs in place of the croutons. Will make again.”

  • “VERY YUMMY! 🙂 me and my mom tripled the recipe and made outside out of little squares we made out of crescent dough sheets. We’re taking them to a party, and i’m sure they’ll be a hit!”

  • “These were super good and easy!I used green onions and substitued a handful of peas for the olives.I used cheese and garlic croutons.I doubled the recipe and the filling was exactly enough for 8 pockets (2 cans of crescents).Good thing because my teenage son kept going back for more. Thanks for a delicious recipe that looks gourmet! My pic is the two pockets on a white plate next to a salad. :)”

  • “Doubled recipe and left out the olives. All of us enjoyed this recipe for something differant.”

  • “Very tasty and easy to make.Mine may have been a bit more soft than they should have because I put them in covered containers soon after coming out of the oven so I could take them to the superbowl party.Despite this they were a definite hit at the party.Thanks for a great recipe!”

  • “Delicious! Easy and quick to make.”

  • “Yummm!!”

  • “I really liked this. I didn’t have any crescent rolls so I just made it like a casserole and it turned out really well! I did add some fresh minced garlic and included green olives. It was a little bit different but in a good way. I thought of serving it over pasta and I think that I’ll do that next time if I’m once again out of crescent rolls. I also used garlic cheese croutons and loved them as the topping! At any rate, it’s creamy, comforting, and very easy! Thank you so much! :)”

  • “My mom used to make this when I was a kid, and making it for myself now did not disappoint! I used italian bread crumbs on the top. My kids loved it– I think I might sneak some mixed veggies in there next time.”

  • “I’ve made this recipe several times already but have never remembered to rate it.It’s fast, easy, and DELISH!!!Pillsbury now makes crescent sheets, which makes this so much more easier to prepare.It’s become a favorite in my home!!! Thanks for sharing….”

  • “sooo good i used green onions”

  • “These were so good! I used the reduced fat crescent rolls, cut out the butter and croutons and added peas. I also topped with cheese in the last minutes of cooking and it was so delicious! i served it with stuffing and a gravy made in the same pan as the chicken, with a little flour, butter (roux if you will), chicken broth, and ff milk. SO GOOD!”

  • “You can save calories by using reduced fat crescent rolls and omitting the butter and croutons, add veggies by adding 1.5 cups each of steamed broccoli and cut corn, and save time if you use Onion and Chive flavored cream cheese instead of dicing onions. This is a great go-to meal if you’re short on time, or patience, or ideas! YUM!”

  • “Husband loved this.I thought it was okay.I made it in an 8×8 pan like another reviewer suggested since I am always short on time.Left out olives and added sauteed mushrooms.He wants me to make again but I will wait about a month or so.It was an easy dish to prepare so I will make again.”

  • “I used to make this back when we were newly weds, and lost the recipe.This was very similar, but not exact.I leave out the olives, and the croutons.Good with a side salad.”
