Crescent Rolls
Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brown chicken in olive oil in sauté pan. Mixed cream cheese and frozen vegetables into pan. Pour mixture into a pie plate and cover with crescent rolls. Place in oven until crescent rolls are done.

Annie's Crusted Chicken with Creamy Sauce
Ingredients:
4-5 Chicken Breast halves
Herbed Cream Cheese (chive and onion)
Crackers (used Ritz reduced fat, crumbled)
Parmesan Cheese (approx. 1/3 cup)
Egg or Water for pre-coat
Olive oil
Directions: Coat chicken with water or egg and dip in mix of broken crackers and parmesan cheese. Cook in olive oil on high heat in pan; brown and cook. Liquefy cream cheese in pan with stock.
Verdict: I forgot I was going to use the stock and just did the cream cheese alone. I want to try it the other way, but we still thought it was an 8.
