These were so good, especially hot out of the oven! And only 6 ingredients! This recipe has so many shortcuts that can make it even simpler to prepare. A few ways we simplified making creamy chicken and bacon pockets was by cooking the bacon in the oven. We will never going back to frying bacon on the stove top ever again! This was way too easy. Another shortcut was cooking the chicken. I had to run errands during the day, so I cooked my frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker. It’s so easy, fill it up with enough water to cover the chicken and cooked on high for 3 hours. I came home and it was ready for me to shred.

Notes
To make this into a freezer meal - follow directions through egg wash. Place baking sheet in the freezer. When pastries are solid to the touch, transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer. When ready to bake, place frozen pastries directly on a baking sheet in preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
That isn't a silly question at all. Take the crescent dough out of the tube and then roll it out evenly with a rolling pin. Hope you like it!
