Chicken Croissant Bundles

These are wonderful, tasty and super versatile, you can experiment with the filling, I sometimes just do broccoli and chicken inside.

3 Chicken Breasts, raw and diced fairly small
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/3 c. onion, diced
1/2 c. mushrooms, diced (optional)
2 cups grated cheddar (can replace for sliced or shredded swiss)
12 oz. frozen broccoli, steamed
2 packages crescent rolls
6 ounces cream cheese
2 Tbls Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
optional topping
1 c. pecans crushed
butter

cook broccoli in the microwave directly in the bag for about 10 minutes.  while broccoli is cooking, sauté mushrooms, pepper and onion in butter til soft. remove and place in small bowl, Cook the diced chicken in 2 Tbls butter, and then add the vegetables back in.  Drain broccoli and chop, then add to chicken mixture.  Immediately add in the cream cheese, and melt, then add in the Parmesan, salt, pepper and cheddar.  I score my chicken mixture with a knife into 16 equal portions.  Taking a croissant triangle, I fold over edges and flatten down with fingers until somewhat square, and then place a portion of mixture into center of croissant.  fold in edges and pinch, placing seam side down onto cookie sheet.  (for added yumminess you can spread some butter on top of each pouch and then add some crushed pecans.) Bake at 350* for 25 minutes or til golden.
