Creamy Chicken Crescent Roll Bake 🧀🍗

Kittencal’s Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole

Description:
This delightful dish, also adaptable with turkey, brings together the comforting flavors of chicken, cheese, and crescent rolls in a warm, creamy casserole. Whether you’re using fresh chicken breasts or repurposing leftover cooked chicken, this recipe promises a satisfying meal. While the original recipe includes a creamy soup mixture, you have the option to simply fill the crescent rolls with the savory chicken mixture, making for a delightful variation. To ensure optimal texture, consider drizzling only a portion of the soup mixture over the crescents before baking, saving the rest for another occasion. This clever trick helps prevent a soggy bottom, ensuring each bite is perfectly delicious. For extra indulgence, opt for jumbo crescent rolls and stuff them generously with the chicken filling. 🍗🧀🥐

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
2. Prepare Casserole Dish: Grease a casserole dish generously with butter, ensuring it’s large enough to accommodate the crescent rolls.
3. Prepare Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, combine half and half cream, 3/4 cup of grated cheese (feel free to adjust to your preference), and undiluted chicken soup. Heat the mixture gently until the cheese melts, being careful not to boil it.
4. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add minced garlic, chopped chicken, green onions, and cheddar cheese, mixing well. Stir in mayonnaise and season with seasoned salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Assemble Rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto each triangle. Roll up the crescents, starting from the thicker end.
6. Layer in Dish: Drizzle a small amount of the prepared soup mixture on the bottom of the casserole dish. Arrange the filled crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamy mixture.
7. Add Toppings: Pour the remaining soup mixture over the top of the crescents, using as much or as little as you prefer. Sprinkle with additional grated cheese, if desired.
8. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
