This is Lynn here. I just have to tell everyone that I have the BEST sister ever! Why, might you ask? Because she and her husband got me my very own Kitchenaid Mixer for Christmas.

This will also work great with turkey; if you do not have chicken breasts, then use any leftover cooked chicken. If desired you can fill the crescents just with the filling mixture and omit the soup, just brush with butter before baking. They are wonderful just stuffed with the filling! A few members have experienced a soggy bottom, so you might want to consider just drizzling half (or even a little less) of the soup mixture on top and a little around the sides of the crescents, then save…
