Everything Chicken Puffs

 

12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (light and dark meats)

8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

1/2 C. sliced green onions (white and green parts)

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. roasted garlic powder (or garlic powder)

2 tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls (regular or giant size)

Topping

4 tsp. onion flakes

2 tsp. sea salt

4 tsp. poppy seeds

4 tsp. sesame seeds

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Mix chicken, cream cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a medium sized bowl. Unroll crescent rolls, divide into pre-cut triangles. Divide chicken mixture evenly amongst the 16 pieces of dough. Wrap up dough around chicken, pinching sides to seal seams, and shape into crescents. Dip or roll crescents into topping mixture. Place on baking sheets. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Notes: Use a store-bought roasted chicken. Can be prepared early in the day and baked when ready to serve. Regular size crescent rolls will make appetizer size puffs, while the large/giant sized rolls will create meal portion puffs. If you don’t want an ‘everything’ spice finish, use one C. of seasoned Italian bread crumbs.
