Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb boneless skinless chicken tenderloins or breast, diced small
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c butter, melted
2 Tbsp minced dry onion
0.7 oz packet dry italian salad dressing mix
2 Tbsp milk
12 oz can big & buttery crescent rolls
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp seasoned salt
2 c panko italian crispy bread crumbs
1 tsp poppy seeds
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
10 3/4 oz cream of chicken soup
1 c sour cream
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil in a skillet and add diced chicken, browning until juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Blend cream cheese and 2-3 Tablespoons melted butter until smooth. Add to the skillet of chicken. Add Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, milk and onions. Simmer 5 minutes and mix well. Unroll crescent rolls out to their triangle shape. Spoon chicken mixture onto the center of each separated dough, leaving a little room on the sides and top. Rolling from the top towards the small end and then pinching the sides together, this will turn out somewhat like a ball. In a bowl, roll crescent roll in the remaining melted butter and then in bread crumbs. In a seperate bowl, place poppy seeds and roll crescent in them. Place on baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes or until rolls are done. (slightly brown) Top with gravy.
  • 2. To make the gravy, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayo and 1/4 cup milk. Cook over medium heat until heated through.

A wonderful lady in our church gave this to me. In October when I broke my arm, she made this dish and brought it over to us. It was so good that I asked her for the recipe, and last night, Dec. 19th, 2006, she brought the recipe and all the ingredients over to us. Thank you Debbie Lusty!

  • Use a large skillet: This will give the chicken and vegetables plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crispness and flavor.
  • Use a creamy sauce: This will help to make the dish rich and flavorful.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This will help to keep the chicken and vegetables warm and prevent the sauce from curdling.
