Easy Chicken Roll-ups (yummy! Guys love 'em!!)

I had these first when my mother-in-law made them for her fam. Her kids have all started making the recipe regularly, with minor variations. While they're not exactly diet friendly, they're very good! Here's the recipe as we like it. (The simple gravy is a MUST, but the pic. just shows the chicken roll-ups before serving w/ gravy). All the men in my life :) love 'em!! Definitely a guy pleaser!



Ingredients:
~1 8 oz cream cheese
~2 cups cooked and shredded/cubed chicken or turkey
~3 Tbsp butter, softened
~green or regular onions, diced (optional)
salt & pepper to taste
~2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
~1 recipe quick chicken gravy (see recipe under label "sauces & gravies")

Directions:
Combine all ingredients except crescent rolls. Open and separate crescent rolls. Put about a tablespoon or a little more filling onto rolls and roll up, tucking and pinching all edges so filling doesn't ooze out while cooking. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Ladle hot chicken gravy over the top. I HIGHLY recommend using my quick chicken gravy recipe!!!! 2 ingredients and about 30 seconds to make. VERY GOOD!
