Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp oregano

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for sauce)
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 10.5 oz milk (use soup can for measurement)
  • 2 packages crescent rolls (each 8-count)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken mixture: In a bowl, place the cooked and shredded chicken along with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle garlic powder and oregano over the chicken mixture, then stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.
  2. Stuff the crescent rolls: Unroll each crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture towards the wide end of each crescent dough. Carefully roll up the crescent roll, enclosing the filling inside, and repeat with all remaining dough and filling.
  3. Arrange rolls in baking pan: Place all the stuffed crescent rolls evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish, ensuring they are spaced close but not overcrowded.
  4. Make the creamy sauce: On the stovetop, combine the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese with the cream of chicken soup and milk in a small saucepan. Heat gently, stirring frequently until the cheese has melted and the mixture is warm and smooth.
  5. Pour sauce over rolls: Carefully pour the warm creamy sauce evenly over the stuffed crescent rolls, covering them thoroughly to keep them moist during baking.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown on top and the sauce is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the cheesy, savory casserole warm as a satisfying main dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken for shredding.
  • You can substitute mozzarella cheese with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor.
  • If cream of chicken soup is not available, a homemade white sauce with chicken broth can be used.
  • Be careful not to overfill the crescent rolls to prevent leaking during baking.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
