Cheesy Chicken Crescent Bake
Ok, get ready to throw back to 1987-ish. Yep, I’m talking a full-on chicken casserole, complete with cream of chicken soup and crescent rolls. It’s happening and it’s DELICIOUS.
This is one of my family’s most favorite chicken recipes. Mainly, my kids favorite. I am telling you they love this simple cozy dish, that is straight from my mom’s recipe box…which is most likely straight from a church cookbook, or a magazine recipe card.
I know some of you are probably not on-board with condensed soup, but I fully am in this case. I mean, it’s not an ingredient I use very often, but I will tell you, for certain recipes, there is just no substitute…especially if it’s nostalgic, like this one.
Gather Your Ingredients:
Cooked Chicken: You could use Rotisserie chicken for this to add another shortcut, or just cube up some cooked chicken breasts. I’ve done it both ways. OR make Homemade Shredded Chicken which is super easy and quick!
Cheeses: You will need cream cheese, and grated cheddar cheese for this recipe. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature because it will be easier to mix.
Seasonings: Garlic powder and seasoned salt is all you need. If you don’t have seasoned salt you can simply use a mix of kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Heavy Cream: You will use this for both the filling and the sauce. If you don’t have heavy cream you can use half and half, evaporated milk, or even whole milk. If you use whole milk the sauce will just be a little thinner.
Canned Crescent Rolls. You will use 2 cans of rolls. But you can easily cut the recipe in half and use one if you are feeding a small crowd.
Cream of Chicken Soup. You can use Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Celery soup as well. Or you could even use Condensed Cheddar Soup.
