CHICKEN CRESCENT CASSEROLE



Chicken Crescent Casserole image

I'm always looking for new ways to make chicken, which is not one of my hubby's favorites, but he tends to enjoy chicken casseroles, pot pies and such. He doesn't eat anything but the white meat, so that's also a challenge to make it tasty. This casserole combines both chicken and buttery crescent rolls. It's easy to prepare...
