My husband and his friends fight over the leftovers whenever I make this meal. Even the kids love them!
3-4 chicken breasts boiled and shredded (3 if average size, 4 if small breasts)
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 c chopped onion
3 packages crescent rolls
Melted butter to cover
Italian bread crumbs to top
"Gravy"/Sauce
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c chicken broth
1/2 c. sour cream
Mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, and onion together. Spread crescent rolls out of counter so there are 24 triangles of crescent to work with. Fill each of the triangles with 1-2 tbsp of chicken mixture (I do this by hand and sight, with no true measuring). Roll the triangle of dough around the chicken mixture so that no mixture is visible, and everything is covered with dough. Place in a sprayed pan about 2 inch from the next ball to leave room for rising (I use 10 x 13 baking dishes). Brush the tops of each ball with butter (I spray the top of each of mine with pam or butter flavored cooking spray) and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until the crescent rolls are browned to your desire.
While the "puffs" are cooking, prepare the "gravy"/sauce in a small saucepan on the stovetop by... Combining the chicken broth, sour cream, and cream of chicken together and heating until warm, without boiling.
To serve, cover the chicken puff with the gravy as desired. At my house we also use the gravy to top items such as mashed potatoes, etc.

we did these tonight and liked them.
our changes: first, we only did 2 packages of rolls and probably could have only done one. i made all 16 puffs but ended up freezing 8 (but i'm not complaining about that one bit!). so due to only doing 2, we did 5 ounces of cream cheese and less onion. i didn't have italian bread crumbs, so i used regular and then sprinkled italian seasoning over it.
and as to the size of the chicken breasts...my chicken breasts are HUGE. so i used only one, but it was sixteen ounces, and that seemed to work great. so i recommend one ounce of chicken per roll.
i put eight in a 9x13. that was more than enough room.
i froze half of the gravy to be enjoyed when we eat the remaining eight. i'll post if the gravy freezes well.
but overall, we were very pleased! thanks brandy.
we made this last night and really enjoyed it.
i pretty much used low-fat everything: sour cream, cream cheese, and the rolls.
i wasn't sure what temperature these were to be cooked at? i did 350 and they were done in 15 minutes.
good stuff!
