I have several standby recipes for leftover chicken, but this time decided to make a basic chicken salad as a filling for a can of crescent rolls that have been in the fridge.INGREDIENTS
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise
fresh herbs (I used chives, parsley and small amount of Rosemary)
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Gently toss all of the ingredients together until combined.
Can be served on a plate of lettuce leaves, on a Croissant or bread of choice.
To make Chicken Salad Crescent Rolls, spoon a scant 1/4 cup of the chicken salad onto each triangle and roll-up. Bake on baking sheet @375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. (I had more than enough filling to make 8 roll-ups)

Thanks so much for linking up!
This chicken salad looks delicious. The craisins will be so good in it! We are so happy that you linked up to our "Strut Your Stuff Saturday" and we hope you see you back next week!! -The Sisters
This looks lovely! We'd love for you to link up with us for Tasty Tuesday over at https://www.aletteredlife.blogspot.com!
Featuring on Thursday at Bacon Time!
What a great idea. John will love this with a mug of soup. We have had quite a few rainy, cool days lately.
This chicken salad contains the exact ingredients that I think make a delicious chicken salad. Now thanks to you, I can make my own with your recipe. Thank you!
I feel the tears running down my face, as I read the post about your dear mother. You did such a beautiful, kind tribute. What a lady! I am sure today will be difficult for you. I just said a prayer for you as you go through the day. I clearly remember the first Father's Day after my dad went to heaven, and how painful it was. Thinking of you on this Mother's DAy!
The boys in my family would love this! I will have to save it! Thanks so much for sharing and I am a new follower! Hope you have a great weekend!

I love chicken salad… these look delicious!
That is so clever. I have to try this very soon.
That looks delicious! We don't have crescent rolls here, are they like flakey pastry or more of a bread thing?
What a great idea to make that into a hot crescent roll. I would never have thought of that. You have WONDERFUL recipes here, Lorraine, and I have used several of them. xo Diana
You make the simplest food (not that this was simple) look so delicious and beautiful!
