1 tbls fresh chives, chopped
2 tbls milk

Seasoned croutons, crushed
2 packages crescent rolls

Unroll crescent rolls and split into 4 rectangular pieces per can, pushing triangular seams together. Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of chicken mixture onto dough on one end leaving room along the edges for sealing. Fold over other side of dough and press to close.
