2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or onion
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 tablespoon softened butter; beat until smooth. Add chicken, chives and/or onion, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, milk and peppers; mix well. Separate or cut dough into 4 rectangles. If using crescent dough, firmly press perforations to seal. Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto center of each rectangle. Lay a thin slice of ham on top of each rectangle. Pull 4 corners of dough to center of chicken mixture; twist firmly. Pinch edges to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
