   • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and margarine until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Flavorful Ingredients:

   • To the cream cheese mixture, add finely chopped onions, celery, salt, pepper, and shredded cooked chicken. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

3. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the Chicken Pockets are prepared.

4. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:

   • Open the can of crescent rolls and separate them into individual triangles.

5. Fill the Rolls:

   • Place a generous spoonful (about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons) of the chicken mixture onto the center of each crescent roll triangle.

6. Seal the Pockets:

   • Carefully fold the corners of the crescent roll over the chicken mixture, creating a pocket. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside.

7. Coat with Crunchy Goodness:

   • Dip each filled pocket into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll the pockets in crushed corn flakes, coating them evenly for a satisfying crunch.

8. Bake to Perfection:

   • Place the prepared Chicken Pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

9. Serve with Gravy:

   • While the Chicken Pockets are baking, prepare a delicious gravy by mixing 1/2 cup of sour cream with about 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Once the pockets are done, serve them hot with a drizzle of this creamy gravy on top for an extra burst of flavor.
