Savory Chicken Squares

I love spaghetti and meatballs, but every once in a while I like to change things up a bit. This savory chicken squares recipe pairs great with spaghetti, or by itself! I got this recipe from one of my college roommates up at BYU, Rachel! I have so many good memories with my sweet friend, and a lot of them involve food. Since then, I’ve made this recipe so many times and I can’t remember if it’s exactly the way that she made it. Over the years I may have tweaked it a little here and there.

One reason why I love this recipe is, that it’s so easy! As you can see, there is a theme with my favorite kind of food. It’s got to be good but easy. As a full-time working mom of 4 boys, I need easy recipes that don’t require too much time. So to all my busy friends looking for a fulfilling yet delicious recipe, you’re welcome!

Ingredients for savory chicken squares:

• shredded chicken
• cream cheese
• store bought crescent dough
• salt and black pepper
• *Optional- if not serving to kids add a pinch of pepper flakes for color and a little spice

To assemble these chicken squares, pinch two triangles together to make a rectangle. Add in your chicken and cream cheese mixture to the middle and fold the four corners into the middle.

Now bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Once the chicken squares are done cooking, let them cool for about 10 minutes and then enjoy. They are perfect by themselves or like I mentioned above have these alongside a pasta dish and you will be set.
