Instructions (Detailed):

Boil Chicken: Start by boiling the chicken breasts in a pot of water for about 20 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked and tender.
-
Cool Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the boiling water and allow them to cool down to room temperature.
-
-
Prepare Chicken: After cooling, cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces using a sharp knife.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken pieces, cream of chicken soup, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients well until evenly combined.
-
Prep Crescent Rolls: Open the cans of crescent rolls and separate them into the pre-cut triangles. Gently roll out each triangle slightly to flatten them.

Fill and Roll: Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each crescent roll triangle. Carefully fold the edges of the triangles over the filling, creating rollups. Ensure the rolls are overstuffed for maximum flavor.

Arrange in Baking Dish: Arrange the filled crescent rollups seam side down in a baking dish. If there is any remaining chicken mixture, spread it around the rolls in the baking dish.
