A few weeks ago, my friend shared this recipe, and I was immediately intrigued because it looked simple, kid friendly, and like the perfect dinner to make on a school night!!
Sure enough, I made it last night, and my family went crazy over it!
In fact, my husband was quite excited to take the leftovers for lunch today and he typically is anti-leftover!
This dish is pure comfort food! Tender chicken, cheese, and flaky crescents combined in a cheesy chicken gravy that everyone will devour happily!
One of my favorite things about this dish is how it can be prepared ahead of time! Typically, I have more time in my mornings as compared to afternoons. I love preparing this first thing in the morning and moving on with my day. Come dinnertime, I simply place the pan in the oven and let it bake to perfection! Add a veggie on the side and dinner is served!
Ingredients Needed for these Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls:
Chicken
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Cream of chicken soup
Milk
Crescent rolls
Garlic Powder/Oregano
How to prepare:
Cook up chicken and shred or dice into small chunks.
Place cooked chicken in a bowl and add in 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle some garlic powder and Oregano on top of chicken and stir to coat thoroughly.
Unroll each crescent roll. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and place towards bottom of crescent roll (the wide part).
Slowly roll the crescent roll up with chicken/cheese inside. Continue process until all crescent rolls are stuffed.
Place in a 9×13 baking pan.
Next, heat remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk over the stove until melted and warm.
Pour mixture on top of crescent rolls, coating entirely.
Place pan into a preheated oven, 350, and bake for about 30-40 minutes.
Once cooked, the crescents should be somewhat brown, and the mixture should be bubbly! Serve!
