Ingredients

1 lb cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried oregano
2 (8-count) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
10.5 oz milk (use soup can to measure)

Instructions

Prepare Chicken Filling In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir until evenly mixed.
Stuff Crescent Rolls Unroll crescent dough onto a clean surface. Add about 1/3 cup of chicken mixture near the wide end of each triangle. Roll up gently, tucking in the sides to seal. Repeat with remaining rolls.
Arrange in Pan Place filled rolls seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Leave space between rolls for even baking.
Make the Sauce In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining 1/2 cup cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Heat until cheese melts and sauce is smooth, stirring frequently.
Add Sauce & Bake Pour the warm sauce evenly over the crescent rolls in the pan. Use a spatula to ensure every roll is covered. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Cool & Serve Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Tips for Success

Don’t overfill the rolls to avoid leaking during baking
Stir sauce constantly to prevent sticking or burning
Bake until tops are deeply golden for the best texture

Variations

Swap mozzarella for cheddar or Monterey Jack
Add cooked spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms to the chicken mixture
Use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken for a different flavor

Serving Suggestions

Serve with mashed potatoes or corn on the cob for a hearty meal
