Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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 the cream of chicken soup can to measure)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp oregano
Dough
- 2 packages crescent rolls (each 8 count)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescent roll bake.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Assemble the Bake: Unroll one package of crescent dough and place it in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid crust. Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Add the Second Layer: Unroll the second package of crescent rolls and layer it over the chicken and cheese mixture, pressing seams together to cover. Spread the remaining chicken mixture on top, followed by the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the Dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your cheesy chicken crescent roll bake warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken soup for a different flavor.
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Add chopped spinach or mushrooms to the chicken mixture for added nutrition and flavor.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
