A delightful twist on a classic dish, these Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls are perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Boil the chicken breasts in a large pot of water until fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool before shredding it into small pieces.
Shredding the chicken while it's slightly warm makes the process easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into individual triangles.
Work on a clean, flat surface to make rolling easier.
Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each triangle and roll them up, starting from the wide end.
Avoid overfilling to prevent the rolls from bursting during baking.
Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Check the rolls halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the rolls and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
For a golden finish, broil the rolls for the last minute of baking.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy!
Pair with a side salad or dipping sauce for a complete meal.
