Chicken Pockets

1 package cream cheese
2-4 chicken breasts (depending on the size)
2 cans of cresent rolls
2 cans of cream of chicken soup

Cook chicken and cut into small pieces; mix chicken and cream cheese (it helps if the cream cheese is a little soft); cook according to the directions on the can of rolls; cook cream of chicken soup and serve poured over chicken pocket; rice is good with this too if you want to add something more. Makes a lot so cut the recipe in half if it's just for two!
