From: A Recipe A Day

Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cooked chicken, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 - 3 Tbs chopped sliced jalapenos
2 Tbs chopped green onions
1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls

I added some garlic salt too and some chopped fresh spinach.

Heat oven to 375º.

Mix all ingredients, except the dough, in a bowl until well blended.

Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 2 long rectangles on cutting board, pressing perforations to seal.

Spread half of cream cheese mixture on one rectangle to within 1/2 an inch of edge. Repeat on other rectangle of dough.

Starting with one long side, roll up rectangle and press seam to seal. Cut roll into 16 slices. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with other dough rectangle.

Bake 14-16 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from sheet immediately and serve warm.
