Buffalo Chicken Squares

I am always looking for a new recipe.  For this one I actually just tweaked a recipe that has been passed around in various forms for a long time.  When we brought home Elaine from the hospital a family from our church brought over what she called, "Amish Chicken Squares."  I have also come across recipes where these little squares no longer claim any ties to the Amish and go by "Crescent Chicken Squares."  The recipe for those is usually something like this one from www.food.com.

Chicken Squares

• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon onion, chopped
• 8 ounces Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
• 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend butter with cream cheese Add milk and onion. Stir in chicken. Add salt and pepper.
3. Separate dinner rolls into four rectangles, pressing perforations to seal. Spoon 1/2 cup mixture into center of each rectangle. Fold over two opposite sides to meet in the middle forming a square. Press the other two edges together to seal.
4. Brush top with melted butter and dip into bread crumbs. Place on non stick cookie sheet crumb side up.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until browned. 

 I was looking for something new so I made them as follows 

Buffalo Chicken Squares

• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2tablespoons butter, melted 
• 1/3 - 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce (I used Frank's)
• 1/3 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder 
• 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 8 ounces Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
• 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend butter with cream cheese Add milk, Buffalo sauce, and garlic powder. Stir in chicken.
3. Separate dinner rolls into four rectangles, pressing perforations to seal. Spoon 1/2 cup mixture into center of each rectangle. Fold over two opposite sides to meet in the middle forming a square. Press the other two edges together to seal.
4. Brush top with melted butter and dip into bread crumbs. Place on non stick cookie sheet crumb side up.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until browned. 

My husband says he can't eat the regular ones anymore because all he can think about is how tasty the buffalo ones are to him.  These would be great served with a green salad and ranch or blue cheese dressing.  Enjoy!
