Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 1 cup cooked, finely diced chicken (or canned chicken)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ¼ cup milk
Dough:
- 1 (8 ounce) tube refrigerated Pillsbury crescent roll dough (8 count)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, stir together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half of the grated cheddar cheese. Pour this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish and set aside to create a creamy base.
- Mix the chicken filling: In a separate bowl, combine the cooked, finely diced chicken with the remaining half cup of grated cheddar cheese. This mixture will be the savory filling for the crescent rolls.
- Assemble the rolls: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles. On the wide end of each triangle, place about 1 to 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture.
- Roll the crescents: Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle, tucking the dough around the chicken filling to encase it fully.
- Arrange in the dish: Place each crescent roll seam-side down onto the prepared baking dish over the creamy soup mixture, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Bake: Bake the assembly uncovered in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the soup mixture is bubbly and the tops of the crescent rolls are nicely browned. The bottom portion of the rolls submerged in the sauce will remain soft, resembling dumplings, yet fully cooked through.
Notes
- You can use canned chicken as a convenient shortcut or freshly cooked chicken breast, finely diced.
- For a different flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup.
- If you prefer spicier rolls, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Make sure to place crescent rolls seam-side down to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
- Serve warm as a hearty snack, appetizer, or main dish alongside a simple salad or steamed vegetables.
