So, what do you do when you have a can of crescent rolls that's about to expire and you need a quick dinner? Tonight, my first instinct was to take the tried & true pig-in-blanket route--but alas, there are currently no hot dogs in my refrigerator! I also have a great creamy chicken pocket recipe (that I will have to remember to post on here soon!)--but only frozen chicken that I wasn't in the mood to thaw & cook. SO...I started digging around for something that sounded like it would taste good wrapped up in a crescent roll. (Although, let's be honest--what WOULDN'T taste good wrapped in a crescent roll, right?) I decided to get a little creative with some pizza-making ingredients left over from the weekend and pizza pockets were born! I added a nice salad on the side and VOILA! Dinner in about 20 minutes!
AND it got a thumb's up from my toughest little food critic! :-)
Here are the ingredients I dug up:

3. Spread a pizza sauce, cheese, & desired toppings on each rectangle.
4. Fold in sides of crescent rolls to create a pocket & press seams together to seal in the filling.
