Barbeque Chicken Crescents



I’m making an effort to start a new tradition in our house: Fun Food Friday! Family meals are very important to me and I want to do what I can to make them as fun as possible. During meal planning I have been plugging “fun” meals into Fridays. While I do what I can to making all meals child friendly so that little one can always eat what we eat, I am making Friday dinners SUPER kid friendly. My goal is to make little one feel that I am making a meal just for him.

The nice thing about kid friendly meals is they are usually quick and easy. The ingredients are usually easy and few. They aren’t always the healthiest meals but I strive to make all of our other meals healthy so I figure a not so healthy meal once a week will be fine. Also, I’m convinced that whatever I make at home is way better than a fast food meal.

I saw this recipe on a commercial at the gym. Yes, the gym. A little counterproductive but eh.  I didn’t go find this recipe the first time I saw the commercial. It took multiple times before I finally looked up the recipe. The ingredients are easy especially if you use a rotisserie chicken. I balance out the fat content of the crescent rolls by pairing these with a fruit, a veggie and a salad. Adjust the flavors to meet your needs by changing up the flavors of your barbecue sauce and the type of cheese you use. Quick, easy, child friendly and yummy!

Enjoy!
Yes, Devil's Spit. Little one can handle a little spice.

1 can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
¼ cup barbecue sauce
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 375°F

Separate dough into 8 triangles.

In bowl, mix chicken and barbecue sauce. Spoon chicken mixture onto short end of each triangle. Sprinkle each triangle with one teaspoon cheese. Roll up loosely as directed on can. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with egg and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
