Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 lb boneless skinless cooked and shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
Crescent Rolls
- 2 packages crescent rolls (8 count each)
Creamy Sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 10.5 oz milk (use soup can for measurement)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: Place the cooked and shredded chicken in a bowl and add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons each of garlic powder and oregano on top, then stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
- Stuff Crescent Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll and scoop about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of the dough. Slowly roll the crescent roll up, enclosing the chicken mixture inside. Repeat until all crescent rolls are stuffed.
- Arrange in Baking Pan: Place the stuffed crescent rolls into a 9x13 inch baking pan, arranging them evenly with some space between.
- Make Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup, and 10.5 oz milk. Heat until the cheese is melted and the mixture is warm and smooth, stirring occasionally.
- Pour Sauce Over Rolls: Pour the warm creamy sauce evenly over the stuffed crescent rolls, ensuring they are completely coated.
- Bake: Place the pan into a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 40 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the cheesy and creamy chicken bake warm!
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Use low-fat or reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup and milk to make it lighter.
- Make sure the crescent rolls are fully rolled to prevent filling from leaking.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Use shredded cooked turkey as an alternative to chicken.
