5 boneless chicken breasts
1 c grated mozzarella cheese
1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup

  • 10. NOTE: You can also make this into one roll. Here are the directions: 1. Cook chicken and dice. Mix 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese with chicken in the bowl; set aside. 2. Separate and unroll the crescent rolls and place side by side in a 9x13 baking dish. Put chicken mixture at one end of roll and roll into a cake roll (like a log). 3. Heat soup, milk and the remaining cheese in a saucepan. When warm pour soup mix over the chicken roll. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly. You can double the recipe and put both loaves in the 9x13 pan.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses offer different flavors and textures, so don't be afraid to experiment. A good combination is a mixture of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't forget to season the chicken before cooking it. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start.
  • Don't crowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the crescent rolls so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Chicken Crescent Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
