Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
To make an egg wash, beat the egg and cream in a small bowl with a fork or a whisk; set aside.
Lightly flour work surface. Unfold one of the pastry sheets; lightly dust top with flour; use a rolling pin to roll sheet into a 16 inch square, making it thin. Cut pastry square in half; cut each half into 4 rectangles, making eight, 8-inch by 4-inch rectangles; cut each rectangle diagonally into 2 triangles, making 16 triangles.
Smear 1 t. jam on the surface of each triangle; sprinkle 1 T. chocolate chips down the center of each triangle.
Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up carefully, keeping chocolate chips inside.
Place croissants on the parchment paper so that the tip of the triangle is tucked underneath. If the ends of each croissant appear to be open, pinch them shut gently to prevent chocolate from leaking out while baking. Bend the edges of each croissant into a crescent shape.
Lightly brush tops of each croissant with the egg wash; sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Repeat with the second pastry sheet.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown.
Makes 32 croissants.
