Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Assemble

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a large shallow baking pan.
  2. Prepare the 1 cooked and deboned chicken by cutting the meat into small pieces.
  3. Unroll the 1 can crescent rolls and separate into triangles.
  4. On each triangle, place a small amount of grated cheddar cheese and some of the cooked chicken pieces.
  5. Roll each crescent up, starting from the wide end, and place it in the prepared baking pan.

Step 2: Sauce and Bake

  1. In a saucepan, heat the 1 cup milk and 1 can cream of chicken soup. Add any extra leftover cheddar cheese or chicken you have, stirring until warm and combined.
  2. Pour the soup sauce evenly over the filled crescent rolls in the pan.
  3. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Assemble the crescent rolls and sauce ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
