Ingredients
  

For the crescent bake
  • 1 package Crescent roll dough Refrigerated crescents that unroll into triangles.
  • 2 cups Cooked chicken Shredded or chopped for easy filling.
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese A mild cheddar or cheese blend works well.
For the sauce
  • 1 can Cream of chicken soup Provides the creamy base for the sauce.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Thins the soup into a pourable sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds a mild garlic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Adds depth without fresh onion.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Season to taste for mild heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Add a spoonful of chicken and a sprinkle of cheese at each wide end, then roll toward the point. Place them seam side down in the dish.
Mix and Assemble
  1. Whisk cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Pour the sauce evenly over the arranged crescents.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese across the top.
Bake
  1. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until crescents are golden and sauce bubbles.
  2. Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce sets.

Notes

Use room-temperature chicken, don’t overfill crescents, and let it rest to thicken sauce for serving.
