Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the canned chunk chicken with 1 1/4 cups of grated Cheddar cheese.
- Place the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each crescent roll and roll up.
- Arrange the rolled crescent rolls in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan, heat the cream of chicken soup, milk, and 3/4 cup of grated Cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the warm sauce over the rolled crescents in the pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese to the chicken and cheese mixture. You can substitute the chunk chicken with shredded rotisserie chicken for added flavor. If you're short on time, pre-cooked chicken and store-bought cheese sauce can also work well. For a twist, try adding some diced green chilies or chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
