Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
-
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
-
1 cup cream of chicken soup (or homemade if preferred)
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing on top, optional)
-
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
-
Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles. Lay them evenly in the prepared baking dish, pinching the seams together to form a crust along the bottom.
-
Make the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
-
Top with Cheese: If desired, sprinkle a little extra shredded cheddar cheese on top for extra cheesy goodness.
-
Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
-
Finish with Butter (Optional): If you want an extra golden, buttery top, brush the baked crescent rolls with melted butter once out of the oven.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color, then serve warm!
Notes
-
You can add some veggies to the chicken mixture, like peas or carrots, for extra flavor and nutrition.
-
Feel free to swap the cheeses for what you have on hand—mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a blend of cheeses would work well.
-
If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with a homemade or store-bought cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor.
