Chicken Crescent Bake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or homemade if preferred)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. If you’re using frozen mixed vegetables, add them to the mixture as well. Mix until well combined.
3. Assemble the Crescent Bake:
   • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
   • In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, lay the triangles in a single layer, overlapping them slightly to create a base for the filling.
4. Add the Filling:
   • Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the crescent roll base, spreading it out gently.
5. Top with Remaining Dough:
   • Take the remaining crescent roll triangles and place them over the chicken filling, pinching the seams together to seal.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve:
   • Let the Chicken Crescent Bake cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Tips:

• Variations: Feel free to add other ingredients like mushrooms, spinach, or even different types of cheese to the filling for extra flavor.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking.

Enjoy!
