Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken, shredded
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1/4 cup milk
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Blend shredded chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well seasoned.
- Unroll crescent roll triangles and distribute a generous portion of the seasoned chicken mixture across the wider end of each triangle.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, ensuring the chicken filling remains tucked inside, and arrange them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Create a creamy sauce by whisking cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the silky sauce evenly over the arranged crescent rolls, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese across the top of the dish, creating a melty blanket.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling sauce.
- Once finished, let the dish rest for a few minutes to set, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the comforting, cheesy chicken crescents.
Notes
- Make the dish gluten-free by using gluten-free crescent roll dough for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Swap chicken with rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken to save preparation time and add extra flavor depth.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium cream of chicken soup and adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for enhanced taste without extra salt.
- Boost nutrition by mixing in chopped spinach or diced bell peppers into the chicken filling for added vegetables and color.
