Pampered Chef's Clubhouse Chicken Squares



This Clubhouse Chicken Squares recipe comes from The Pampered Chef, which of I am a huge fan. I have a kitchen full of The Pampered Chef items!

This recipe is DELISH! And after making it, it sparked come creativity in my little brain because not only can you use these toppings but I thought of making so many other toppings. Almost anything is possible with this. You could do plain pizza toppings, BBQ chicken pizza topping, taco toppings, you could do BLT,turkey, ham...so much.

I took the ingredients to a friends house and we made this for dinner.

This was very easy and very worth it. In fact, Im going to have leftovers for breakfast this morning.

Clubhouse Chicken Squares

2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls, 1 package 8 oz cream cheese softened, 2 tbs mayo, 1 garlic clove, (Plus use only 1 garlic clove. My friend added 3 garlic cloves and the morning after I'm still tasting garlic, Edward Cullen wont be coming after me! LOL!) 1 tsp dill, 1 can 10 oz chicken drained and flaked, (We used the oscar mayer chicken in the deli section)2 plum tomatoes seeded, diced, 1/2 of a small cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (We love cheese so we used double this amount)
6 slices of bacon crumbled (Again, we love bacon so we doubled this amount)

Preheat oven to 375. Unroll 1 package of crescent rolls, roll across 1 end of baking sheet. Repeat of 2nd can of rolls. Press triangles together. Bake 12 minutes. Cool completely. Combine cream cheese, mayo, dill, garlic. Spread over crust. Top with chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, cheese, bacon.
Refrigerate 30 minutes. (We were impatient and didn't do this step. It was still fantastic)
Cut into squares. Eat.
