Description:
These delightful Chicken Apricot Bundles are perfect for a quick lunch or snack. The combination of tender chicken, creamy cheeses, crunchy pecans, and sweet-tart apricots wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough makes them irresistible!
Ingredients:
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 cup diced cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 rectangles on an ungreased baking sheet. Press the perforations together to seal.
-
Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped pecans, and celery seed. Mix well until evenly combined.
-
Assemble the Bundles:
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture onto the center of each dough rectangle.
- Top each with diced chicken and chopped dried apricots.
-
Form the Bundles:
- Bring the edges of each rectangle together to the center, pinching and sealing tightly to form bundles.
-
Bake:
- Place the prepared bundles in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bundles are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These bundles are best enjoyed warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
- Customize the filling by adding your favorite herbs or spices for extra flavor.
- These bundles can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving for a quick appetizer or snack.
