Chicken balls

Yes, I know it's a weird name for these, but it's Karrie's recipe and the name just stuck :) They really don't resemble balls, but they are filled with chicken, so their name is at least half fitting. Lunch has always been a really hard meal for me. I don't feel as if I'm a picky eater overall, I like a large variety of foods, but I have a hard time eating something if it doesn't sound good, and when I pack a lunch several hours before eating it, inevitably, I will not be in the mood for it when noon rolls around. This is especially true with "normal" lunch foods such as sandwiches. So, in my attempt to not eat at the cafe in my building every day for lunch (I actually have not even eaten there once yet this semester), I have come up with some lunch foods that seem to hit the spot whenever I take them. One of those foods is chicken balls! The best way I can describe it is a homemade hot pocket :) I made 2 batches, baked, wrapped individually and stuck in the freezer for instant lunches. So easy and delicious. I don't eat them everyday since I don't want to get sick of them, but it provides me with some variety and a lunch I get excited to eat.

Crescent “Chicken Balls”
4 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
4 oz cream cheese (regular or light)
4 oz chive and onion cream cheese
¼ c melted butter (I use a little less)
2 pkgs crescent rolls (regular or reduced fat)
Bread crumbs
Mix shredded chicken, butter and cream cheeses. Putt out rolls into 8 rectangles (2 triangle rolls together-each pkg will have 4 rectangles). Drop a few large spoonfuls into middle and fold roll around chicken mixture. Brush with melted butter and roll in bread crumbs.
Bake in a greased 9x13 slightly separated from each other (8 per pan) at 375 degrees for 20-25 mins.

Delicious alone but even better with some cream of chicken and milk "sauce" for dipping. Enjoy!
