Chicken Stuffed Crescent rolls

Here is a really good recipe...I got it on the 'she shops smart' website and it was really really good! Here is the recipe

"CRESCENT ROLLS STUFFED WITH CHICKEN"-
4 chicken breasts
3/4 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp. butter, softened
1 very sm. onion, finely chopped
2 pkg. crescent rolls
1/2 c. herb stuffing (or bread crumbs)
Melted butter

Directions
Bake chicken breasts in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (or just brown it it bite size pieces in a frying pan if you dont have much time). Cut into bite-size pieces. Divide each package of crescent rolls into 4 sections and press perforated lines together.
Mix the first 4 ingredients (chicken, cream cheese, butter, and onion) together. Place chicken mix in center of rectangular dough. Wrap dough around chicken mixture and press sides together.
Dip chicken roll upside down in melted butter and dip again into small bowl of bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet and cook in oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes until golden brown.
NOTE: Sprinkle garlic powder, seasoning salt, and coarse ground black pepper over chicken before baking, if you desire additional seasoning."
If I dont have bread crumbs on hand crushed ritz crackers work great too. Mushrooms inside are something else you can add.




So here is my budget breakdown...

Chicken $3.50
Rice $1.00
Crescent rolls $1.50 (these were on sale for $1.00 then I used my .50 off two coupon!)
Steamfresh veggies $.65 (again on sale then coupon!)
cinnamon rolls $.50 (")
cream cheese $.88

This serves all 4 of us for dinner then all four of us for lunch the next day (I just pack jeff a lunch before I clean up dinner.)

So lets say It feeds about six full grown people. We had a great somewhat healthy dinner for $1.33 per person!!! Thats exciting (well to me)

these are a favorite at my house too! Sometimes I mix corn in as well...these are great to experiment with and 'hide' veggies for your kids!
