Chicken Croissant Casserole

These were so good I thought I might have to arm wrestle my husband for the leftovers. This delicious dish is easy to put together and is sure to please.  Because it’s just as good the next day I think it’d make a great dish if you were taking it to new parents or sick friends and relatives. 

                                         

Recipe

2 8oz. cans of Pillsbury’s Crescent Rolls 

I can of Cream of Chicken Soup

Grated cheese  your choice (I used Monterrey Jack)

4 ounces of cream cheese

2 tablespoons of butter (soft)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon minced onion flakes

2 cups finely chopped COOKED chicken breast (try shredding a deli rotisserie chicken to save time)

Milk ½ cup (for the sauce) 2 tablespoons for filling

9X13 casserole dish

Sauce:

In medium sized bowl mix together ½ cup milk, ¾ cup grated cheese, and undiluted cream of chicken soup until smooth and blended well.

Filling:

In a bowl combine 2 tbs. soft butter and the 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth.

Add in the chopped chicken, onion, cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons milk, salt and pepper to taste and mix until well combined

Putting it all Together:

Preheat oven to 350⁰

Prepare a 9x13 casserole with cooking spray (I lined mine with foil and when I cleaned up later it was a HUGE help)

Unroll one section of the croissant dough and lay it out on a flat surface, then place a spoonful of the filling at the large end. Then roll the dough into a pocket so that the filling is inside the dough.

Place a spoonful of the sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish, then put the stuffed croissant on top. 

Then place another spoonful of the sauce on top of the croissant and then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the croissant is toasty brown. 

Be sure to keep the leftovers just a few seconds in the microwave and you've got a delicious lunch the next day.
