Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 2 cookie sheets with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Freeze mozzarella cheese 30 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of the chopped basil; mix well. Cover; refrigerate.
3 Place crescent rounds 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. In small bowl, stir together olive oil and Italian seasoning. Lightly brush tops of rounds with 1 tablespoon of the oil mixture.
4 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.
5 Using serrated knife, cut crescent rounds in half horizontally. Place 16 crescent halves, cut side up, on cookie sheets. Lightly brush with oil mixture. Bake 5 to 9 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining crescent halves and oil mixture.
6 Shred mozzarella cheese. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture on each cut side of crescent rounds. Top bottom of each crescent round with 1 rounded tablespoon chicken, 1 tomato slice and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella. Place on cookie sheets.
7 Set oven control to broil. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven; top with remaining basil and crescent round tops. Secure sliders with cocktail toothpicks.

The instructions for this recipe are confusing and all over the place. Now, I was able to figure it out after reading it several times, but I read a lot of recipes and I have never had to re-read any, but this one. It's a shame that Pillsbury doesn't edit them before posting them. After all, there are only 100 finalists ! Pillsbury, you need to change your edit process !!! And I apologize to the owner of this recipe if Pillsbury did edit the instructions from the original recipe. Please think about re-writing, this is a very tasty recipe.

I made this recipe for a girl's night out this weekend and it was a hit! Everyone was commenting on how I must have spent so much time making them, when really I didn't, because it was such an easy recipe to put together. These would be great for a shower or graduation - a great recipe to have on file!
