Cream Cheese Chicken Crescents

This is a meal I loved as a kid.  To be honest, I am not sure if I make it like my mom did, but it tastes like I remember, so it must be close!

3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1 cup finely diced celery

3/4 cup finely diced onion

1 t black pepper

4 T butter

8 oz cream cheese

1 tube of crescent rolls (I get the ones that are "bigger" and they are 8 to a pack)

Preheat oven to 350*.

Saute celery and onion in butter and black pepper until onion is caramelized. 

Combine veggies with cream cheese and shredded chicken.

Open each crescent roll and spread out and flatten.

Place 1/3 cup of chicken mixture in each crescent roll.

Roll shut and seal edges so the chicken is completely enclosed.

Bake for 15 mins.

Notes:

1. I combine two cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 1/2 cans of milk and heat to use for a "gravy."

2. Serve with rice and put the "gravy" on that as well.

3. Good leftover if you reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer, otherwise they get soggy.

4. I will only get the Pillsbury brand crescent rolls.  The cheap ones are awful.
