 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       c            Chicken -- cooked, chopped
  3       oz           Pkg cream cheese -- softened
  1       tb           Chives -- chopped
  2       tb           Milk
    1/2   c            Seasoned crouton crumbs --
                       - crushed
  2       pk           Refrigerated crescent rolls
    1/4   c            Margarine -- melted

 Mix chicken, cream cheese, chives, milk, and salt in a medium bowl
 (mixing with hands works best) to make filling, and store in a 1 qt
 freezer bag. Put crouton crumbs in another 1 qt bag, attach it to
 bag of chicken filling, and freeze them. Refrigerate crescent rolls.

 To prepare for serving, thaw chicken mixture. Unroll crescent
 rolls. Each tube will contain 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal
 perforation. Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle
 halves will not separate. Place about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture
 into the center of each rectangle. Fold dough over the filling, and
 pinch the edges to seal tightly. Dip each packet in melted
 margarine, and coat with crouton crumbs. Place packets on a baking
 sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 20 minutes or until
 golden brown. Packets are good either hot or cold.

 Makes 8 packets.
