Chicken Crescent Casserole

Comfort food anyone? Another night of trying to think of something to eat. Zac suggested that he wanted some sort of casserole and that he wanted to have left overs. So on line I went to Pinterest to find us some dinner!

After about one minute of searching I found something that caught my eye, Chicken crescent casserole. We were off to the grocery store to buy our ingredients.

Ingredients:
 
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or swiss cheese (or any cheese of choice)
  • 1/2 cup 18% table cream (or use whipping cream)
  • FILLING
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (very soft)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (very soft but not melted)
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/3 cup onion, finely chopped (can use green onions)
  • 2 large cooked chicken breasts, finely chopped (or use about 2 cups, can use cooked turkey)
  • 1/2-3/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or use 1/2 teaspoon white salt or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2-4 tablespoons mayonnaise or whipping cream
  • 1-2 cup grated cheddar cheese (for topping) 
Set your oven to 350. Spary/butter a casserole dish (I used my largest one).  In a saucepan, mix half and half cream, 3/4 cup grated cheese (can use more cheese if desired) and undiluted chicken soup (can season with black pepper if desired). This is to place on the bottom of your casserole dish and to spread over the casserole. While that is on simmer you can make the filling.  Mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder (if using). Once that is mixed add all other ingredients to this mixture. Once that is mixed get your crescent rolls ready. I had some difficulty on learning how these rolls were....rolled. After a few I finally got the hang of it. Okay, so place a table spoon or more of the mixture onto the crescent roll and roll it up! Place the rolls in your casserole dish ( after placing a small layer of the sauce you made earlier) Then with the left over sauce spread it over the tops of the crescent rolls. You can sprinkle some cheese on top and then place them in the oven for 30 minutes! Yummy!
