Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine chicken, cream cheese, 2 Tablespoons of butter & mushrooms.
Lay out a single crescent roll triangle. Stretch it out so that it is slightly bigger than normal.
Place approximately 1/4 cup of chicken mixture in the center of crescent roll.
Wrap dough around chicken mixture sealing up edges, creating a pocket.
Continue to do this to each crescent roll.
Place onto lined cookie sheet or in a greased casserole dish.
Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and brush on to each crescent roll.
Add crushed corn flakes to top of each crescent roll, if desired.
Bake in oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.
While baking, combine evaporated milk and cream of chicken soup in a pot on the stove, medium heat. Stir to incorporate and cook until simmer.
Turn off heat and allow to cool.

Notes: If you are making these ahead for a freezer meal, follow directions above to create pockets. There are two ways to do the freezer method.
1. After assembling, but before cooking, place filled pockets on a cookie tray and freeze for 2 hours. Once frozen, place in a freezer ziploc bag for up to 2 months. When ready to use, remove and place frozen pocket on a lined cookie sheet. Bake at 325*F for 30 minutes. (do not thaw - bake frozen). NOTE: Each oven is different. So the heat time may take longer or less depending on your oven. My electric oven in Minnesota requires 30 minutes.
2. After assembling, cook as directed. When finished cooking, let cool completely. Place cool cookie sheet in freezer for 2 hours or until pockets are frozen. Place them in a freezer ziploc bag for up to 2 month. When ready to eat, place frozen pockets on cookie sheet and bake at 325*F for 20 minutes. NOTE: Each oven is different. So the heat time may take longer or less depending on your oven. My electric oven in Minnesota requires 30 minutes.
