Chicken Pockets rec.food.cooking/r. Bernstein/1997
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, cubed very small* about 6 oz. cream cheese, softened** 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp combined curry & coriander (or a little more) 1 can crescent rolls 1 egg, beaten Italian bread crumbs
Combine the softened cream cheese with spices and add the chicken.
Unroll crescent rolls. Stretch out the rolls a little, then put a small amount of chicken mixture on them; roll them up and seal them good by pinching together any openings.
This next step is different than the other recipes but I think this is what really made it great this time. Dip them in a *beaten egg*, then in bread crumbs and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. The egg completely seals the contents and gives a real crusty finish to the roll-ups. I serve them with Duck Sauce.
For an appetizer, then could be cut in threes and served on toothpicks. Enjoy!
*Pound the chicken thin, then bake at 350 for one hour. I always brush them with something to give them flavor. This time I found a jar of Rhubarb and Ginger Conserve in my pantry closet (from a trip to Bermuda) and spread that on the chicken while baking.
**I used a combination of chive cream cheese, plain, and low fat (whatever it takes!).
