Chicken Popovers

X-No-archive: yes said:

Does anyone have a recipe for something I think is called Chicken
Popovers? The recipe comes on cans of Swanson's (?) Chicken. It is
something like mix 2 cans of chicken with 1 package of creamcheese,
mix in 1 teaspoon of poppyseeds, mix well, put inside a crescent roll
and bake until crescent roll is done.

Sounds like you already read the recipe on the can of chicken. Give it a
try and report back.

This one? I think I've usually had it with gravy on top. I know they
do freeze pretty well.

Crescent Chicken Bundles

1 (3-ounce) package softened cream cheese
3 Tablespoons margarine, melted
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
1 Tablespoon chopped pimiento
1 (8-ounce) can crescent rolls (generic supermarket brand works just
fine)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Blend cream cheese and 2 Tablespoons of the melted margarine until
smooth.
Add chicken, salt, pepper, milk, chives and pimiento; mix well.

Separate dough into 4 rectangles, press perforations to seal . Spoon a
generous 1/2 cup mixture into center of each rectangle, pull the four
corners to the top and twist slightly. Seal edges. Brush with remaining 1
Tablespoon melted butter and dip into crumbs.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

I had dinner at someone's house and this is what they served. I'm
guessing at how it is made. They said it had chicken, cream cheese and
poppy seeds and got it from a sticker on a can of chicken.

In this context they are a commercially made yeast dough product
packaged in a cardboard tube. When separated they are rolled up and
shaped into a --- crescent.

Crescent rolls are like croissants... in the United States they are sold in
tubes to be separated and rolled up and baked. Not nearly as nice as real
croissants but a fair simulation for the real thing.

Don't panic! If you can't find a tube of crescent rolls, you can
always make them the old fashioned way.... from scratch.

http://bread.allrecipes.com/az/GoldenCrescentRolls.asp

Golden Crescent Rolls

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
* 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup butter, softened

DIRECTIONS:

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water.
2. Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of flour. Beat
until smooth. Mix in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape dough from
side of bowl. Knead dough, then cover it and let rise in a warm place
until double (about 1-1/2 hours).
3. Punch down dough. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch
circle. Spread with butter. Cut into 10 to 15 wedge. Roll up the
wedges starting with the wide end. Place rolls with point under on a
greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour).
4. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 12-15 minute or until
golden brown. Brush tops with butter when they come out.

I do not know about the yeast, but there is too much sugar for a
savory dough, which this should be to compliment the chicken filling.

I believe that the crescent rolls that can be bought ready for baking,
are much less sweet.

I wonder how they get away with calling it a popover unless they mean
make normal-recipe popovers and after they're cooked inject them with
the chicken & goo like a jelly donut, kinda/sorta.

I debated commenting about that, but I usually put in a lot more
"sweet" (honey) than the average bread baker and no one conciders my
breads sweet.

Thank you very much, sf. Perhaps is right: 4 cups of flour are nearly 1,300
gr. !!!
BTW I will try and then I will tell you.
many thanks again!

Oh yes, Margaret! This is a good observation! With chicken they must use few
sugar!

I've always had them made with left over chicken, so I'm sure any way
you cook it would be fine.

Crescent rolls are actually a strange American canned bread dough
product. The dough is refrigerated in cans and when opened, you unroll
the dough and it tears apart into small triangles. The dough is rolled
into a crescent shaped roll.

Here's a link to a picture on the company website

http://www.pillsbury.com/View/breads/crescent_rolls.asp

I'm sure if you made a white flour bread dough and rolled it thin it
would work fine and likely taste better.

It is very similar to "pizza dough" but more flakey. It is not a dense
dough. Hope this makes sense.
