Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole

Well that's a mouthful isn't it?

Despite popular belief, it isn't always fine dining in the Hiatt Household.

And sometimes, you just need some comfort food- like a good old fashion casserole.

Here is what you need:

2 chicken breasts, can of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 cup of whipping cream, salt, lots of cheese (3-4 cups), one stick of butter, one 8oz package of cream cheese, and two packages of crescent rolls.

Probably not the healthiest thing you will eat this week...

Preheat oven to 350 degrees,

Beforehand, cook your chicken and cut it up into cubes.

You can buy already cooked and cut chicken, I just had some chicken breast in the fridge.

Get 3/4 cup of your cheese, cream of chicken soup, and whipping cream.

Throw it together is a sauce pan and mix until cheese is melted.

Turn down to keep it warm.

Get your butter and cream cheese.

They both need to be pretty soft so get them out ahead of time.

Our kitchen has little to no AC (??) so I just get them out a couple minutes before, put them next to the window to soak up the hot zonie sun, and they are practically melting.

Mix them together in a bowl.

Then get your garlic, measure out 1/2 teaspoon, and add it in.

add in your chicken and 3/4 cup of cheese. Mix it til it is well combined. You also can add 1-2 tablespoons of either whipping cream or mayo if it is looking a little dry. I added some cream.

Take your soupy mixture on the stove and spread about half of it on the bottom of the pan.

Now comes the fun part. That can also be a little time consuming. So if you are like me, and need something else going on to keep you from going crazy, turn the TV on or listen to music or something.

Get your crescent rolls out.

And add about a tablespoon or two of the chicken to the center of the wide end of the roll.

Then, starting with the wide end, roll your dough up, tucking in the edges when you get to the end. Press any holes together as well. 

Then place it in the pan.

Then repeat fifteen more times! Wooo!!

Once you have all your rolls in the pan

Pour the rest of your sauce on the top followed by 1 cup (or more) of cheese and a promise to yourself to work out tomorrow.

Pop them in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

You will know its done when the cheese starts to get goldenly brown on top.

Enjoy!

And Happy National Donut Day!

You know what I will be eating tonight!
