Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced Rotisserie chicken works well.
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For topping.
  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional) Add for extra nutrition and color.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley Optional for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is nicely blended.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables until evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Assembly
  1. Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together to form a rectangle without separating into triangles.
  2. In a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, lay the dough rectangle at the bottom, allowing some to hang over the edges.
  3. Pour the chicken mixture over the dough, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously on top of the chicken mixture.
  5. Fold the overhanging edges of the dough over the mixture, leaving some gaps for venting.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

For optimal results, bake until the top is golden brown. To avoid soggy crust, pre-bake the crescent dough for about 5 minutes before adding the filling.
