Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Velveeta™ is sold in mini blocks, which are preportioned into 4-oz packages. This extends the storage life of any remaining cheese for other recipes.
  • tip 2
    Cooling the chicken mixture before adding it to the crescent dough makes rolling them up easier and keeps the dough from getting too stretchy.
  • tip 3
    Add sliced green onion as a garnish, or stir into sour cream dip, if desired.
