Cranberry Chicken Crescents

Experiment Alert!

We had friends over for dinner last night and I made these. As they were coming through the door, I had a bit of a panic and started chastising myself for serving “experiment food” to guests. I don’t think I’ve ever served something I’ve never made before, or seen a recipe for, to guests. And I don’t think I’ll do it again!

Not because they didn’t turn out, but because of the anxiety I felt as they were coming in the door, worried if dinner would be any good at all!

But as I took them out of the oven, I knew all would be fine…and it was!

Tasty, tasty, tasty dinner…
