Chicken Puffs

I know there is already a recipe with the same name, but this is a little easier to make and quite a yummy one. This was the first real recipe I ever got from my mom when I was in college because I missed them so much. I haven't met anyone who hasn't liked them!

Ingredients:

1 package of chicken breasts (usually 3 chicken breasts)
8 oz package of cream cheese
2-3 Tblsp of butter
2 packages of cresent rolls

To make:

Cook the chicken in a pan of boiling water. Once cooked, shred and set aside. In a large bowl blend the cream cheese and butter. Add chicken and stir. Open cresent roll packages and spread apart individual rolls. Stretch them until just before they break. The softer they are the farther they will stretch. Place a spoonful of chicken mixture onto each roll dough and fold corners over to create the puff. Bake according to the directions on the cresent roll package. I think it says to bake at 350 degrees and I usually do 325 degrees. Watch them and take them out when they are light brown on top.

**I usually cut the chicken into small pieces before I cook them and they cook faster. Plus, they are easier to shred when they are already in small pieces. Just a thought**
