Equipment:

9 × 13-inch baking dish
Medium mixing bowl

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (approximately 10 to 12 ounces)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded and divided
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 ounces each)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Prepare the chicken filling. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, condensed cream of chicken soup, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Prepare the crescent dough. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Fill the dough. Spoon approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Roll the crescents. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed tip. Tuck in the sides slightly to help keep the creamy filling inside.
Arrange in the baking dish. Place the filled crescent rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between them.
Add the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crescent rolls.
Bake until golden. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the chicken filling is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Cool and serve. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for a comforting and delicious family meal.
