Ingredients

• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Separate the crescent rolls into 8 triangles. Place a portion of the chopped chicken on the larger end of each triangle.
4. Add a teaspoon of the soup mixture on top of the chicken on each crescent roll.
5. Roll the crescent rolls up, starting from the larger end, ensuring the chicken and soup mixture are enclosed.
6. Spread about 1/3 cup of the soup mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
7. Place the rolled crescent rolls in the dish, seam side down.
8. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the crescent rolls evenly.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the dish is bubbly.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before placing it in the crescent rolls for the best texture and flavor.
• You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
• For a crispier top, try sprinkling some extra cheese on top before baking.
