Ingredients

  • 1 tube Pillsbury crescents
  • 2/3 cup diced broccoli florets
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 Tablespoons finely diced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked chicken
  • 1 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Open your tube of crescents and spread them out. Separate the crescents into 4 rectangles and press the diagonal seam together on each rectangle. Cut each rectangle in half so you have 8 squares.
  • To a large microwave safe bowl add the broccoli, onion, salt, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 Tablespoon water. Microwave on high for 90 seconds.
  • Add in the cream cheese, milk and garlic powder. Mix until well blended. Fold in the diced chicken and 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan.
  • Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and place one crescent square in each of 8 cups. Gently press the squares into the muffin tin so it covers the sides and bottom. Scoop 1/4 cup of chicken mixture into each cup. Top each with 2 Tablespoons shredded Parmesan.
  • Bake the crescent squares at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the crescent are golden brown. Carefully remove the crescent cups from the pan by running a butter knife around the edges. Serve immediately!

Notes

Substitute fresh peas, sweet corn or baby spinach for the broccoli.
