Chicken Croquets

Well tonight we are entertaining and I didn't really feel like making something extravagant but wanted to make something yummy. I decided on Chicken Croquets because they are super super easy! There is also little clean up and that is nice so you don't feel like your kitchen is a disaster when your company is over.

Chicken Croquets:
2-3 chicken breasts (depending on how big they are)
6 oz cream cheese
pinch of salt and pepper
1 can of crescent rolls
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup bread crumbs

Gravy:
3 TBSP butter
4 TBSP flour
1 can of chicken broth

Boil the chicken breasts for 15 minutes. Take two forks and shred the meat into a big bowl. Add the cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Roll out the crescent rolls and separate them to individuals triangles. Put 2 TBSP in each triangle and fold them up so they make balls. Dip each ball into the butter and then in the bread crumbs. Cook according to the crescent rolls instructions.

Gravy: Melt the butter into a small pot. Add the flour and let it cook out a little so you don't get that bold flour taste. Add the chicken broth and stir until it thickens. Pour this over your Chicken Croquets.
