What's For Dinner??

That is the most popular question in my house this afternoon.

Well the answer is this.......

Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole

• 2 (8 ounce) cans Reduced Fat Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can 98% fat free cream of chicken soup, undiluted
• 3/4 cup grated reduced fat cheddar cheese (or any cheese of choice)
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• FILLING
• 4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese (very soft) - I used Green Mountain Farms Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter (very soft but not melted)
• 1-2 minced garlic cloves (optional)
• 1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 large cooked chicken breasts, finely chopped (or use about 2 cups)
• 1/2-3/4 cup finely grated reduced fat cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
• 2-4 tablespoons fat free mayonnaise
• 1 cup grated reduced fat cheddar cheese (for topping)

directions

• 1. Set oven to 350°F.
• 2. Butter a casserole dish (any size to hold crescent rolls).
• 3. 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).
• 4. Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil).
• 5. 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).
• 6. Add in the chopped chicken (I used my food processor to chop), onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined.
• 7. Add 1-2 Tbsp mayonnaise; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry).
• 8. Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste.
• 9. Unroll the crescent rolls.
• 10. Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end.
• 11. Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish.
• 12. Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
• 13. 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.
• 14. Bake for about 30 minutes.
