Chicken Puffs

Chicken Puffs
Two cans refrigerated cresant rolls (8 count)
2 Shredded Chicken Breasts (I use 2 cans chicken about 14oz. total)
6 oz cream cheese
Garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste
Mix all of the ingredients together until the cheese is somewhat smooth over all chicken. Place a good size spoonful in each roll before rolling it up. (I sometimes wait to roll them up until I know how much mixture I have left to add/subtract from some rolls). Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8-10 min. until rolls are golden brown. Yummy stuff!
