Chicken Wraps

Hi all! I'm back. Back to the grind of actually making my family something good to eat besides frozen pizza and grilled cheese.  
Today's recipe is a yummy one. The husband loved it and so did the little one!

  • 2 13oz cans if chicken
  • 1 8 oz package of cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 T butter  (softened)
  • green onions
  • pepper
  • 2 can of crescent rolls
  • croutons
 Mix together chicken and softened butter.  Then mix in cream cheese. Once it is stirred together add your desired amount of green onions and pepper to taste.
Take two crescent rolls and put together to make a square.  Seal any holes or seams. Put chicken filling on the square and roll up and put on a cookie sheet.
Crush some croutons and sprinkle on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until brown on top.

Sauce: 
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • about 1/4 c. milk

{Side note:
My sister who has been a live in nanny for us for the last few months has recently discovered an intolerance to gluten.  With this discovery, she has been bummed on having to cut out breads and many of her favorite foods.  Being a single college student, she is really going to miss pizza nights with friends.  THEN, we made up this tasty  pizza dip that just so happens to be gluten free.  It is an awesome pizza substitute. }
