Mini Chicken Pastries

It call these things pastries is stretching it, but I didn't make the title up. So...

1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons hot sauce or bbq sauce
1 8oz can refrigerated crescent rolls
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing, if using hot sauce

Heat oven to 375. In a skillet, heat olive oil over med-high heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink. Remove from heat. Using fork/hands shred chicken. Add sauce.

Meanwhile, on cutting board unroll dough and separate into 8 triangles. From center of 1 longest side to opposite point, cut each triangle in half to make 16 triangles. NOTE: I made 14 triangles. It's best to make the triangles bigger. Anyway...Place rounded tablespoonful chicken mixture on center of each triangle. Bring corners to center over filling, overlapping ends. Press gently to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. (I think it's easier to transfer triangles to cookie sheet and then fill but whatever) Brush each bundle with olive oil. Sprinkle with parsley.

Bake 10-13 minutes or until brown. Serve warm with blue cheese dressing for dipping (if using hot sauce)

Chef's note: I used left over Jack Daniel's (JD!) bbq sauce instead of hot sauce. Since JD (or bbq sauce in general, I suppose) is thick...use more. I used enough to coat the chicken + some since JD is the best sauce ever.
