You can use reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat crescent rolls to make it a little healthier. You could also substitute the broccoli for any vegetable you or your family like. We eat it as a main dish, but you could easily serve them as appetizers. 

Ingredients:

1 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (or neufatchel cheese)

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted, divided

1 tablespoons minced chives

1 tablespoons milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic

2 cups cubed cooked chicken

1 1/2 cups cooked broccoli

1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, chives, milk, garlic, salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in the chicken and broccoli. 

Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into eight triangles; press triangles into greased muffin pan to make a cup shape. Spoon 

about 1-2 Tablespoon chicken mixture into each cup.
