1 can of crescent rolls
1 can of chicken or 1 cup shredded chicken
1 box of cream cheese
Bread crumbs**
Preheat oven to 350. Mix chicken and cream cheese. I've tried to mix a few other things with it such as: onions and celery and it has turned out quite well. Gives it a little more but if you're cooking for kids, they may just like it better without anything added. But experiments are encouraged and please let me know if you put anything else in this to make it yummier! Place a little bit on mixture on each crescent and roll up. Make sure you seal up the sides to prevent the stuffing from coming out while cooking. Roll in bread crumbs. Bake for about 8-10 mins depending on your oven. Enjoy!!
**If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use uncooked Stovetop. Just smash it up into smaller pieces. I like using this instead sometime to also give the the rolls a little more flavor since there are so many different flavors of Stovetop.

Crockpot Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread
1 can of jumbo biscuits
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 T. cinnamon
1/4 c. melted butter
1 large plastic baggie
Glaze
1 stick of butter
1-2 c powdered sugar
1 T. vanilla**
Monkey Bread Instructions
Mix sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in large plastic baggie. Cut biscuits into fourths. Dip each piece in butter and place in baggie. Shake bag to cover biscuits pieces in sugar mixture. Spray crockpot with oil, place biscuits in crockpot (it's okay for them to be touching and to be on top of each other but I like to stay away from the sides of the crockpot to prevent burning the edges of the biscuits). Let cook for 1.5 to 2 hours and enjoy the smell filling your home. Serve with glaze if wanted. I will say they are amazing but the glaze makes it a 100 x's better.
Glaze Instructions
Melt butter on medium heat on the stove. Slowly add the desired amount of powdered sugar (typically I use almost 2 cups before I like the thickness and taste but to each his own). Remove from heat, add vanilla. Pour over monkey bread and embrace all those lovely calories. Don't worry, every calorie is completely worth it in my opinion! Enjoy!!
**I am a person who really enjoys the taste of vanilla so I found some vanilla that I absolutely love!! It is vanilla bean paste. I get this kind. It is fantastic, really brings out the vanilla flavor and you can use less than what the recipe calls for (I don't because like I said, I really enjoy vanilla). It costs a bit more than the regular vanilla but it lasts forever. Totally worth it in my book.

Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie Cups
These were pretty good. I'm hoping the kids will grow into them and eat them. They wouldn't really touch them the first time I made them though.
8 count homestyle biscuits
1 cup cooked chicken breast (I boiled it in chicken broth and then shredded it)
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup frozen veggies (corn, carrots, and broccoli is what I used)
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp minced onion
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place each biscuit into a cup of a greased muffin pan, press the dough up the sides of the cup.
3. Combine chicken, cream of chicken soup, veggies, cheese, parsley, pepper, salt, and onion.
4. Spoon mixture into each of the cups.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until it's golden brown.
