Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe?

Absolutely! Using shredded rotisserie chicken is a perfect shortcut that adds great flavor and saves time.

Can I substitute crescent rolls with puff pastry?

Yes, puff pastry will give a flakier, lighter crust but watch the bake time closely as it may cook faster. The texture will be a bit different but equally delicious.

Is there a way to make this recipe healthier?

For a lighter version, swap regular crescent rolls for whole wheat or reduced-fat versions, use low-fat cheese and milk, and add in extra veggies like spinach or mushrooms to boost fiber and nutrients.

Can I prepare this dish in advance for a potluck or party?

Definitely! Assemble the crescent rolls ahead of time and keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to bake. You can also freeze them assembled and bake later, making party prep a breeze.

Instructions

Prepare Chicken Mixture: Place the cooked and shredded chicken in a bowl. Add ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle garlic powder and oregano over the chicken. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings and cheese.
Stuff Crescent Rolls: Unroll each crescent roll triangle. Scoop about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture and place it on the wide end of the crescent roll. Roll up the crescent roll slowly, enclosing the chicken mixture inside. Repeat this process with all crescent rolls until the mixture is used.
Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the stuffed crescent rolls seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking pan, arranging them evenly.
Make Sauce: In a saucepan on the stove over medium heat, combine the remaining ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warm and smooth.
Pour Sauce and Bake: Pour the warm creamy sauce evenly over the crescent rolls in the baking dish, completely coating them.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the casserole for 40 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this cheesy, savory main course!

Notes

Use cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a cheese blend for different flavor profiles.
If cream of chicken soup is unavailable, use cream of mushroom soup as an alternative.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
Make sure the crescent rolls are sealed tightly to avoid filling leaks during baking.
Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier slicing and serving.
