excellent! Easy to mix up, added turkey ham and did reduced fat crescent rolls. It was so hard to put into triangles. I had mixture oozing out everywhere, I must've added too much. I ended up making balls and not adding more butter for the croutons.

Well liked by my family. Did a little substitutions though. Used chives and onion flavored cream cheese, 8 oz tub, instead of regular cc and the fresh chives. used bottle roasted red peppers instead of the palmettos. Used more chicken then stated so I used two tubs of the crescent rolls. Definitely make it again!

this is supper easy to make, I added a little more seasoning and cream cheese, but overall a big hit was very good and filling.

These are absolutely delicious! Add Halipenos for a little heat (Halipeno Poppers Anyone!)

This was great! I combined chicken breast meat and dark meat for the two cups. I also added one Tablespoon of diced jalapenos to add a little heat. Will put this recipe on our family night meal rotation.
