Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 large (cooked and shredded)
cream cheese
2 (8 ounce) packages (softened)
garlic clove
1 (minced (or use 1/2 tsp. garlic powder))
ground sage
1 teaspoon (none)
sliced mushrooms

crescent roll dough
2 (8 ounce) packages (none)
corn flake crumbs
2 cups (none)
cream of chicken soup
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans (undiluted)
Instructions
1
Begin by poaching the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water until they are tender and cooked through. Once done, remove from water, let cool slightly, and shred using two forks.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, minced garlic (or garlic powder), ground sage, and drained mushrooms. Mix until well combined and creamy.
3
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
4
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Take about a tablespoon of the chicken filling and place it at the wide end of each triangle. Gently fold the sides towards the center and roll up the dough to seal the filling inside.
5
Roll each sealed chicken bite in cornflake crumbs until fully coated, then place them onto the prepared cookie sheet.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
7
While the chicken bites are baking, heat the cream of chicken soup in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and hot (do not dilute).

Serve the creamy chicken bites drizzled with the warm cream of chicken soup for a deliciously comforting dish.
