Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is hot enough to cook the crescent rolls and heat the filling properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, mixed vegetables, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the ingredients together until well mixed.
- Open the package of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface. You will need to separate the dough into triangles as per the package instructions.
- In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Starting from the wide end of each crescent roll triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed end. Place the rolled crescent rolls on top of the chicken mixture, overlapping them slightly to cover the entire surface.
- Once all the crescent rolls are placed on top, you can optionally brush them with a little melted butter or sprinkle some additional garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling set a bit and make it easier to serve.
- Serve the Crescent Roll Chicken Pot Pie warm, and enjoy your delicious meal with family and friends!
Tips
- Use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken to save time and ensure tender meat.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the chicken mixture.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 375°F for even cooking and golden-brown crescent rolls.
- If you want a richer taste, substitute some of the milk with heavy cream.
- For a crispy top, brush the crescent rolls with an egg wash before baking.
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable mix based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream of chicken soup and skim milk.
