Let Me Help: Recipe for 'money bags'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Need an easy dinner idea for tonight? Airica Puckett shares her recipe for what she calls money bags.

Ingredients:

• 1 block of Philadelphia cream cheese
• 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups of freshly shredded chicken
• 2 packages of crescent rolls
  

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning until well mixed.
2. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and freshly shredded chicken to the bowl, mixing until you have a creamy mixture.
3. Open the crescent rolls and separate them into individual pieces.
4. Take 2 pieces of dough and press them together along the dotted line to form one large rectangle.
5. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the chicken-cheese mixture into the center of the dough, then fold the dough around the mixture to form a "money bag" shape.
6. Place the money bags on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside.
