Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Crescent Rolls
- 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the casserole.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, milk, chopped onion, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Prepare the crescent rolls: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into individual triangular pieces.
- Add the filling to dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Roll the crescents: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each crescent over the filling toward the narrow end, fully enclosing the mixture inside.
- Arrange in baking dish: Place the filled crescent rolls side by side in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the arranged crescent rolls.
- Bake the casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling inside is bubbly.
- Rest and serve: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking to set before serving warm.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder or paprika to the filling mix.
- You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or celery soup if preferred.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Ensure crescent rolls are fully sealed around the filling to prevent leakage during baking.
