Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: Place cooked and shredded chicken in a bowl. Add ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings and cheese.
- Fill Crescent Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll dough sheet. Scoop about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture and place it near the wide end of each crescent roll. Slowly roll the crescent roll up, enclosing the filling inside. Repeat until all crescent rolls are stuffed.
- Arrange in Baking Pan: Place the stuffed crescent rolls seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking pan, arranging them evenly without overcrowding.
- Make Cream Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Heat while stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warm and smooth.
- Pour Sauce Over Rolls: Pour the warm creamy sauce evenly over the crescent rolls, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the casserole for 40 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, comforting chicken crescent roll bake!
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftover from a previous meal or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a cheese blend for different flavors.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little more milk when heating the cream soup mixture.
- Crescent rolls can be replaced with puff pastry for a flakier texture.
- Ensure the crescent rolls are sealed well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
