Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped Rotisserie chicken works great.
  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls (8-count) Unroll and separate into triangles.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz can.
  • 1/2 cup milk Whisk into the sauce for creaminess.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided Use half in crescents and half on top.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder Adds flavor to the sauce.
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder Enhances the sauce's flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper Season to taste.
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley For a pop of color.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of cooked chicken and a sprinkle of shredded cheese at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up each crescent, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point, enclosing the filling. Place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth. Pour this creamy mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of everything. This will melt into a golden, cheesy blanket as it bakes.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.

Notes

Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
