Anything With Crescent Rolls Is Great...Right?

That would be CORRECT!!!! I have pinned this recipe on Pinterest and decided that tonight was the night to make it! The directions seemed quick and easy, and they were. It is one of the best meals we've had lately! :)

CHICKEN CRESCENT ROLL CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS:
2 (8 oz.) Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (or 1 Large Roll of 8 Crescents) (I used the large)
1 (10.75 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup
3/4 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 C. Whipping Cream

FILLING:
4 oz. Cream Cheese; very soft
4 Tbsp. Butter; very soft
1 tsp. Garlic Powder (optional)
1/3 C. Onion; finely chopped
2 Large Cooked Chicken Breasts; finely chopped
3/4 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
2-4 Tbsp. Mayonnaise or Whipping Cream
1-2 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (for topping)

Butter a casserole dish, big enough to hold crescents. In a suacepan, mix the 1/2 C. Whipping Cream, 3/4 C. Cheese and Undilute Cream of Chicken Soup. Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil). For the filling---In a bowl mix the Cream Cheese and Butter until very smooth. Add in the Garlic Powder. Add in the chopped Chicken, Onion and Cheddar Cheese; mix well. Add in 2 Tbsp. Whipping Cream or Mayonnaise; mix to combine. (Add a little more if mixture seems too dry.) Season with Salt and Pepper. Unroll the Crescent Rolls. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the Chicken Mixture on top of each crescent triangle, roll up starting at the thicker end. Drizzle a small amount of the Soup Mixture in the bottom of baking dish. Then place the Crescents seam-side down on top of the Creamed Mixture. Drizzle the remaining Sauce on the top, and sprinkle with 1-2 C. Cheddar Cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

These are a lot of cheesy goodness!
