About This Recipe
"This will also work great with turkey, if you do not have chicken breasts then use any leftover cooked chicken --- If desired you can fill the crescents just with the filling mixture and omit the soup, just brush with butter before baking, they are wonderful just stuffed with the filling! A few members have experienced a soggy bottom, so you might want to consider just drizzling half (or even a little less) of the soup mixture on top and a little around the sides of the crescents, then save the rest of the soup mixture for another time, this will help prevent a soggy bottom --- you may use the jumbo crescent rolls and stuff with more chicken mixture

- Unroll the crescent rolls.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end.
- Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish.
- Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired.
