June 21, 2008: Chickie Puff Pillow Rolls

Ingredients:
~ 3 Ounces of cream cheese
~ 3 Tablespoons of softened butter
~ 2 Chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
~ ¼ Teaspoon salt
~ ¼ Teaspoon pepper
~ 2 Tablespoons of milk
~ 1 Tablespoon of chopped onions (Or a light dash of onion powder)
~ 1 Package of frozen white bread rolls dough (Or crescent rolls from a tube)

Preparation:
Thaw out frozen rolls, but don’t let rise. It should take an hour when done naturally. (Or pop them in the microwaves for a minute on low power.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook chicken in a pan filled ¼ full with water and covered until the insides are white. Or cut into cubes to cook faster. (Physic: Increased surface area means increased reaction time.) Blend cream cheese and butter until smooth. Next add in chicken, salt, pepper, milk, and onions. Mix well. With the thawed out rolls, roll them flat. Make sure that they stay thick enough, however, to hold and carry the chicken inside. Then place a little of the chicken mix in the center. Wet half of the edges and fold close making sure to gently squeeze shut the edges. Place on a cookie sheet with 2 inches between each pillow. Brush lightly with melted butter on top and place in the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.

Makes:
About 8 to 10 pillows depending on how big or small you’ve made them.

My Review:
Oh! I like these! I actually got this recipe from a nice lady I know. The best part of this dish is once it’s cooled down you can eat it like a sandwich! (I like sammichs! n_n) These take a little time to cook and prepare so make sure that you have proper preparation time. I also found it a little more difficult, but worth it. With this dinner I like to serve a fruit dish medley with cantaloupe, pineapples, grapes, watermelon, and strawberries. A squash dish would be good with this or maybe some cauliflower with tangy mustard sauce. Hmmm! It’s defiantly a summer time pleaser!
