PRINT RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
Heat oven to 350
Filling:
1 1/2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
3/4 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped, slivered almonds
1Tbl Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg, beaten (if multiple recipes are made, 1 egg is still enough)
2 Tbl slivered almonds
(Because we like peas, I toss some in as well.  About 1/2 cup)

DIRECTIONS
In large bowl, combine filling ingredients. Separate dough into 2 long rectangles. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with long sides overlapping 1/2”. Firmly press perforations and edges to seal. Press to form 14x9 rectangle. Spoon chicken mixture in 3” strip lengthwise down center of dough. Cut 1” strips of dough from chicken to edge. Fold strips of dough at an angle alternating sides. Brush with egg, sprinkle with almonds.
