Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (green onions), chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles according to the perforations.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you roll to seal the filling inside.
Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter and sprinkle the Italian-style breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Arrange the crescent rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving some space between them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture around the crescent rolls in the baking dish, avoiding the tops to keep them crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped scallions if desired.
