Chicken Rolls

I got this recipe from the Thomasville Ward Relief Society Cookbook. It was a hit. Danny wanted more!

2c. cooked chicken, cubed
6ounces cream cheese with chives and onions
1(4oz.) can mushrooms,drained (stems and pieces) ...I didn't add...yuck fungus!
1/8 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. margarine
2 pkg. crescent rolls (I'd suggest the jumbo size crescent rolls)
1/2c. finely chopped walnuts (optional) ...of course I didn't add
2/3 c. seasoned stuffing mix (I suggest you mash them into crumbs or use a food processor)
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Mix together cream cheese and 1/4 cup margarine; add pepper, chicken and mushrooms. Roll out crescent rolls. Scoop 1/4 cup of mixture on each triangle and roll up dough and seal edges. Dip in 1/2 cup melted margarine. Combine nuts and stuffing mix and roll chicken roll around in it to coat. Place on cookie sheets
Bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes. Serve with rice and cream of mushroom soup as gravy (dilute soup with 1 can of water and heat).
Makes 16 rolls.
Can freeze rolls before you cook them. Thaw and cook.

1 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
4 1/2tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 2/3c. corn chex cereal
2 2/3 c. rice chex cereal
2 2/3 wheat chex cereal (although I tend to leave off and add extra of the other stuff when I make it because I just end up picking them out anyhoo!)
1 c. salted mixed nuts

Preheat oven to 250°, heat butter in large roasting pan until well melted. Stir in seasoned salt and Worcestershire sauce. Add chex cereal and nuts, mix till well coated.
Heat in oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes
Spread on absorbent paper towels until cool.

This is a big add for Campbell's soup but it's actually pretty good!

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or to taste)
