Baked Spinach Almond Chicken

Note: I love spinach. Enough said. Hee! Hee!

Baked Spinach Almond Chicken

Ingredients:
2 cups boiled, chopped (or cubed) chicken
1 pkg. frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. salt
2 pkg. crescent rolls
2 Tbsp. sliced almonds

Directions:
Put cooled chicken pieces into a large bowl. Add spinach, bell pepper, cheese, garlic, mayonnaise and salt. Mix well. Place crescent rolls on greased cookie sheet, leaving triangles of dough attached to each other. Pinch seams of dough together to make a rectangular-shaped dough. Place the chicken mixture in a log shape down the center of the dough rectangle, leaving dough on each side. Cut with a knife from the chicken mixture to the edge of the rectangle on each side, making strips that are still attached to the dough under the chicken mixture. Overlap the strips over the chicken mixture for a crisscross effect. Sprinkle the top with almonds. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into smaller pieces to serve.

Hola. I just made this for dinner tonight & it got rave reviews. It was fun to make too!!! Next time instead of mayo I am going to try the cream of mushroom or chicken. But it was awesome. Thank you for another great recipe. Will post early in the week!!!!!
