Cheesy Chicken Crescent Bake

Cheesy Chicken Crescent Bake is the kind of cozy, comforting dish that feels like a warm hug after a long day.

It’s ridiculously easy to throw together, thanks to a few shortcut ingredients, but the result feels homemade and extra special. It is one of those recipes that disappears fast whenever you serve it—whether it is a casual weeknight dinner, a cozy Sunday meal, or a potluck with friends.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls (8-count)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional garnish chopped parsley for a pop of color

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prep
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
  3. Step 2: Fill the Crescents
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of cooked chicken and a sprinkle of shredded cheese at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up each crescent, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point, enclosing the filling. Place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Step 3: Make the Sauce
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth. Pour this creamy mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the baking dish.
  7. Step 4: Top with Cheese
  8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of everything. This will melt into a golden, cheesy blanket as it bakes.
  9. Step 5: Bake It Up
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.
