Savory Crescent Chicken

-Another yummy recipe from Susanna! Can't wait to try it!

3 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 T butter or margarine, divided
2 c. cubed cooked chicken*
2 T milk
¼ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 T chopped chives or green onions
1 T chopped green bell pepper
1 T chopped pimiento
1 8 oz. can refrigerated crescent rolls
¾ c. crushed seasoned croutons
*10 oz. canned chicken can be substituted. If you used canned chicken, do not add salt.
Preheat oven to 350°. Blend cream cheese and 2 T butter. Add all other filling ingredients, mixing well. Separate crescent rolls into 4 squares, pressing to seal perforations. Spoon equal amounts of filling into center of each square. Pull corners to center of each square and press to seal. Melt 1 T butter, brush tops of pastry with butter, and top with crushed croutons. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 20-25 min. Chicken pockets can be assembled and frozen—extend baking time slightly. Generously serves 2—sparingly serves 4.
