Chicken Packets


This is a FABULOUS meal that my Sister-in-law shared with me YEARS ago when she was making once a month cooking meals.  I've made a few of my own changes to it to make it fit me and what I usually have on hand.  And this recipe became even more awesome when I was able to really knock out a lot of time I spent preping by using THRIVE foods.

Chicken Packets

2 cups of Thrive Chopped Chicken rehydrated
3-8oz of Cream Cheese Softened (whatever amount you have on hand will work)
2 containers of Cresent Rolls

Mix all items together, put a small Tablespoon amount on each unrolled cresent piece. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden brown

Now for the variations I make:
1/3-1/2 cup of Ranch Dressing (also used for dipping later)
I added a 1/4 cup of Thrive Carrots rehydrated
1/4-1/3 cup of celery rehydrated
you can also add mixed bell peppers, and onions to taste if you like.  Since I'm preggers at the moment, that was not on my list this go round.
Mix all items together and follow directions above

I have always spooned the mixture on the rolls when they are still warm, it usually a messy processed to roll the cresents closed and pinch the seams closed.  However, this time I ran out of cresent rolls so I ended up freezing the mixture until I had more rolls.  After I defrosted the mixture, it was so much easier to spoon and close up the seams.  So if you have the time I recommend stuffing them when they are cooled off totally.
