    Break out the refrigerated crescent rolls and knock everyone’s socks off with this Cheesy Chicken Crescent Roll recipe. Incredibly easy to make and packed with flavor!

    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!

      Does the part of the crescent roll that sits in the soup ever get done? It seems they would be a little gooey?

      It cooks, but does end up a bit “saucey”. The sauce over the entire dish sort of coats everything and it isn’t very noticeable though! Its quite tasty and definitely a favorite in my house!
