Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 lb Chicken Use boneless, skinless chicken, cooked and shredded for a tender bite.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded; substitute with cheddar for sharpness.
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder Enhances flavor with a savory note; fresh garlic can intensify the taste.
  • 2 tsp Oregano Adds a fragrant herbal note; Italian seasoning works as an excellent substitute.
Sauce
  • 10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup Creates a creamy base; consider a homemade cream sauce for a lighter touch.
  • 10.5 oz Milk Thin out the sauce for perfect consistency; low-fat milk or dairy-free alternatives are great swaps.
Crust
  • 2 packages Crescent Rolls 8 count each; gluten-free puff pastry can substitute beautifully.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • 9x13 baking pan
  • medium saucepan
  • spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined. Set this bowl aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 baking pan lightly. Unroll the crescent rolls, placing a generous ⅓ cup of the chicken filling at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the crescent dough tightly around the filling.
  3. Arrange the filled crescent rolls in your greased baking pan, placing them close together but not touching. Tuck the tips of the rolls underneath.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir continuously until heated through and melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Transfer the prepared baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm using a spatula, ensuring to scoop up some of the creamy sauce.

Notes

Use about ⅓ cup of filling per roll. Prepare the filling ahead of time to speed up assembly. If the sauce is too thick, add more milk for consistency. Keep an eye on the baking time as it can vary by oven.
