Description

A cozy casserole featuring warm crescents stuffed with shredded chicken and a creamy sauce, topped with melted cheddar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls (8-count)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into eight triangles. Put a spoonful of chicken and a little shredded cheddar at the wide end of each triangle. Roll from the wide end toward the point so the filling is enclosed. Place each roll seam-side down in the prepared dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream of chicken soup with the milk. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and pourable.
  4. Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the arranged crescents so it seeps into the spaces between them.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the crescents are golden and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the dish rest about 5 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cheese and milk. Can substitute crescent rolls with puff pastry for a crisper texture.
