KITTENCAL'S CHICKEN CRESCENT ROLL CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Butter a casserole dish (any size to hold crescent rolls).
• In a saucepan, mix half and half cream, 3/4 cup grated cheese (can use more cheese if desired) and undiluted chicken soup (can season with black pepper if desired).
• Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil).
• For the filling --- (make certain that the cream cheese and butter are very soft) in a bowl, mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder (if using).
• Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined.
• Add in 2 tablespoons whipping cream or mayonnaise; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry).
• Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste.
• Unroll the crescent rolls.
• Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end.
• Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish.
• Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
• Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired.
• Bake for about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, stir together soup, milk and ½ cup of cheese. Pour into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine chicken and remaining ½ cup of cheese.
• Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Place about 1-2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent roll. Roll the dough up and place each crescent roll (seam-side down) in the bottom of the dish.
• Bake, uncovered, until the liquid is bubbly and the tops of the crescent rolls are browned (about 25 minutes). The bottom of the rolls (that are submerged in the sauce) will stay soft - like dumplings -- but will still be cooked through.
