Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless cooked and shredded chicken
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
10.5 oz milk (use soup can to measure)
2 packages crescent rolls (8 count packages)
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix until well blended.
Step 2: Unroll each package of crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Step 3: Roll up each crescent roll tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point, enclosing the filling completely.
Step 4: Arrange the rolled crescents in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, placing them seam side down to prevent opening during baking.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.

Tips & Variations

Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a blend of cheeses for a different flavor profile.
Add chopped spinach or mushrooms to the chicken mixture for extra veggies.
For spicier flavor, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes into the filling.
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness. Microwaving may make the crescent rolls soft.

How to Serve

The dish shows a close-up of several baked rolls placed close together on a white marbled surface, each roll having two visible layers. The outer layer is a golden-brown baked dough with a soft and slightly shiny texture, while inside, there is a creamy cheese layer that looks melted and smooth. The rolls are topped with small green herb bits, scattered lightly over the surface, giving a fresh look. The cheese has some browned spots where it melted and baked, adding a mix of light yellow and deeper golden tones. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
