Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tube Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and creamy.
Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as instructed on the package. Lay each triangle over the chicken mixture, slightly overlapping them if needed to cover the filling completely.
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Using a basting brush, lightly brush the melted butter over the crescent roll dough to enhance the golden, flaky crust.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish with your favorite side like a green salad or steamed vegetables.
