So as I’ve mention before, I have become addicted to Pinterest. They have so many great recipes and I want to try them all! Well, I’m not that ambitious but I have been trying one new recipe a week. My favorite so far has been the Chicken Crescent Casserole recipe. It is so yummy and not very hard to make. I have to say the left overs were even better. I’ve already made this recipe twice and it was a hit in my house. Here is what you will need:
Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
- 1 can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or swiss cheese (or any cheese of choice)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- For FILLING
- 4 ounces cream cheese (very soft)
- 4 tablespoons butter (very soft but not melted)
- 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/3 cup onion, finely chopped (can use green onions)
- 2 large cooked chicken breasts, finely chopped (or use about 2 cups, can use cooked turkey)
- 1/2-3/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or use 1/2 teaspoon white salt or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 2-4 tablespoons mayonnaise or whipping cream ( I used whipping cream)
- 1-2 cup grated cheddar cheese (for topping)
-
1. Set oven to 350°F.
-
2. Butter a casserole dish (any size to hold crescent rolls).
-
3. In a saucepan, mix whipping cream, 3/4 cup grated cheese (can use more cheese if desired) and undiluted chicken soup.
-
4. Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil).
-
5. For the filling — (make certain that the cream cheese and butter are very soft) in a bowl, mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder (if using).
-
6. Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined.
-
7. Add in 2 tablespoons whipping cream or mayonnaise; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry).
-
8. Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste.
-
9. Unroll the crescent rolls.
-
10. Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end.
-
11. Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish.
-
12. Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
-
13. Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don’t have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired.
- 14. Bake for about 30 minutes.
I know they look messy but they are so good. You can go here to see the recipe and reviews that people have written. This is a keeper in my house. I hope your family enjoys it as much as we did.
