Thanks to a Kraft promotion last year, I had a coupon for a free container of Philadelphia dill cream cheese. Usually the only cream cheese I buy around here is plain old cream cheese so I had to figure out a way to use this new flavoured cream cheese.
I had seen these chicken cream cheese packs on my travels around the web in the past so I thought I’d create something like that! They actually turned out to be quite tasty!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (chopped, shredded)
- 1 container of Dill Cream Cheese (you could also just add some dried dill to plain cream cheese)
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 packages of refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Celsius.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese and milk. Mix well.
- Unroll the crescent rolls. Each tube will have 4 rectangles of dough with a diagonal perforation.
- Press dough along each perforation so the rectangle halves will not separate.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the centre of each rectangle
- Fold the crescent rolls over the filling, and pinch the edges to seal.
- Place the packs on a baking sheet then bake for about 20 minutes.
Super simple! I think these would even freeze well. Either completely made or if you freeze the chicken mixture on its own.
Let me know what you think if you make them!
Awesome! I was just trying to find a recipe to use up my free container, and here you are posting one! I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks

I make a version of this but with some major differences! I mince garlic and add it and dried parsley to Plain Lite Cream Cheese. Then, instead of using crescent rolls, I just Tenderflake squares – the puff pastry gives it a flakier crust and is not quiet so heavy/greasy.

I made these tonight but I used the lesser fat crescent rolls, low fat chive and onion cream cheese, and then added sauteed broccoli, onion and red pepper with a dash of seasoning and omitted the milk due to the slight water from the veggies..and they came out crazy good.
