Chicken Crescent Casserole Recipe

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.
