Description

This Creamy Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole is a comforting and easy-to-make dish combining tender shredded rotisserie chicken with cheddar cheese and a creamy sauce, all wrapped in flaky crescent rolls and baked to a golden brown. Perfect for a quick family dinner or potluck, this casserole is rich, flavorful, and requires minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls and Filling

  • 2 cans crescent rolls
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, hand shredded (for filling)

Sauce

  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (for sauce)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the casserole is assembled.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. This mixture will be the tasty filling for the crescent rolls.
  3. Assemble Crescent Rolls: Roll out the crescent rolls on a clean surface. Place an even amount of the chicken and cheese filling at the largest end of each crescent triangle. Roll each up tightly and place seam side down in a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.
  5. Combine and Bake: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the assembled crescent rolls in the baking dish. Place the dish uncovered in the center rack of the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly, the sides are hot, and the tops of the crescent rolls turn a beautiful golden brown.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest briefly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving to add a fresh pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy chicken casserole!

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked shredded chicken breast if desired.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of paprika or onion powder to the sauce.
  • If preferred, use a different type of cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent roll dough and confirm the cream of chicken soup is gluten-free.
