These Chicken Packets are simple, delicious and kid friendly.

Chicken Packets are simple to make and kid friendly- Love, Pasta and a Tool Belt | Chicken recipes | Dinner recipes | food | recipes |  When I was home over Christmas I went through my mom’s recipe book to get the recipes for some of my favorite things she made when I was growing up. These Chicken Packets are a big favorite of ours. I made these when I was a nanny and they were very kid friendly too. Easy to make and something the kids will eat sounds like a pretty good deal to me, how about you?

I love these chicken packets because it’s a delicious chicken mixture packed into a crescent roll that’s topped with ritz crackers and melted butter. Those are some of my favorite things all combined.

I doubled the recipe so I had eight chicken packets and we were able to have my sister over for dinner and still have leftovers. We enjoyed these with rice on the side, green beans and applesauce. You can’t forget the applesauce in my opinion!

Do you have a favorite dinner recipe using crescent rolls?

    Absolute yum! I love it that you used Ritz crackers for coating and I had thought that it’s pastry. A great twist. #homematters
