These are some of my favorite things! They are pretty easy to make and everyone in my family loves them! (always a plus when everyone will eat what you make, right?) I originally got this recipe years ago, from who knows where and have been making it ever since. I don't always do it the same each time, depends on my mood but here's my basic recipe:
Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (if they are small, use 3, if they are big, use 2)
8 oz. cream cheese
2-3 pgks. crescent rolls (I make my homemade ones but if you are short on time, Pillsbury will help you out)
2-3 cans of chicken gravy (once again, I make my own, but if you want to use canned stuff, it works)
1 can mushrooms, optional
2 tbs. melted butter
garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, other seasonings you prefer, just use to taste.
1/2 c. butter, melted (may need more)
1 c. bread crumbs, plain or Italian (may need more)
Here's a quick tip before you cook your chicken: add a cube of boullion while you are cooking it and it adds lots of extra flavor.
In a bowl, combine your chicken, cream cheese, mushrooms, 2 tbsp. melted butter and seasonings. Mix until there are no cream cheese lumps.
Roll up to form a bundle, starting from big end.
Roll the bundle in the melted butter, then roll in the bread crumbs.
Place on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 14 minutes at 375, or until golden brown.
While those are cooking, either heat or make your gravy. If you are using the canned stuff, add some onion and pepper to it to give it a bit more flavor.
Once the bundles are finished, pour some gravy over before serving. Have a yummy dinner!!
These freeze great too so don't worry about making extras =)
Gravy Recipe
Melt half the butter in a sauce pan, saute onions. Add the flour to make a roux (kind of like a paste). Add the other half of the butter, water, and bouillon. Add other seasonings to taste Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until thickened.
