Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to crescent roll package instructions.
- Roll the white chicken and shredded cheddar cheese inside each crescent roll and place them in a cake pan.
- In a saucepan, heat the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth and warm.
- Pour the soup mixture around the crescent rolls in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crescents are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top when done and serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing some herbs like garlic powder or Italian seasoning into the cream of chicken soup. If you don't have white chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken can be a great alternative. For a creamier texture, you could also blend in some cream cheese or sour cream with the soup. Make sure to seal the crescent rolls tightly to keep the filling inside while baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Cheesy Chicken Rolls are best served hot and can be paired with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. They also make a delightful appetizer for gatherings. For a comforting pairing, serve with Cream Cheese Potato Soup(Ready In 1 Hour Or Less.) for a cozy dinner experience.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Cheesy Chicken Rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, but the oven will help maintain the crispiness of the crescent rolls.
