Chicken and Vegetable Pockets
1
Remove skin and bones from rotisserie chicken and dice the meat.
2
Blend cream cheese, 2 Tbsp (30 mL) milk and vegetables. Stir in chicken and mix well.
3
Separate crescent roll dough into triangles and put half the triangles onto a greased cookie sheet.
4
Spread 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of filling onto these triangles, leaving room at the edges. Top with another triangle of dough and pinch edges together to seal.
5
Beat egg with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) milk. Brush triangles with egg mixture and cut small slits in top diagonally to vent.
6
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Notes: Keep crescent roll dough in the refrigerator until ready to use. This filling also makes a tasty spread for crackers, melba toasts or bagel chips.

    I made this with thawed, puff pastry cut into squares. I have also used cooked chicken breasts. Very tasty and freezes well.
