1 cup Cheddar Cheese – [ grated ]

¼ cup Celery – [ diced or minced ]

1 tbsp Onion – [ minced ]

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Black Pepper

3. Dice or mince the celery and onion and grate the cheddar cheese

4. In a small bowl, combine the chicken, onion, celery, cheddar, salt, and pepper – mix well

5. Prepare the crescent rolls by separating and laying them out on a baking sheet – roll them out to gain a little more surface area
