Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 10.5 oz milk (use soup can for measurement)
- 2 packages crescent rolls (8 count packages)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: Place cooked and shredded chicken in a bowl. Add ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle garlic powder and oregano over the mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings and cheese.
- Stuff Crescent Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll. Scoop about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture and place it towards the wide end of the crescent roll. Slowly roll the crescent up to enclose the filling. Repeat this for all crescent rolls until the filling is used.
- Arrange in Baking Pan: Place all stuffed crescent rolls into a 9×13 inch baking pan, arranging them neatly side by side.
- Prepare Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Heat the mixture while stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is warm and smooth.
- Pour Sauce and Bake: Pour the warm creamy sauce evenly over the crescent rolls, ensuring they are coated well. Place the baking pan into a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the casserole for 40 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from a rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time.
- If you want a sharper cheese flavor, substitute mozzarella with a 50/50 blend of mozzarella and cheddar.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent rolls and gluten-free cream of chicken soup.
- Pair this dish with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
