Hi there!
We have another Tried and True recipe that is sure to please and be a hit with the family. We’ve talked about our need for having several delicious dinner ideas. I mean, we have to have dinner every day and making the same 10 dishes over and over isn’t going to work – at least, not in my family. š One kind of dish we like to make that is usually simple and a hit with everyone is casseroles. When you have a large family, like ours, it seems like you cant go wrong with them and they tend to feed a lot. They’re great for a last-minute meals, or even to prepare the night before to cook up on a busy day. We love finding new ways to make a boring dish fun and exciting. I think this Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole is a new fun twist on a traditional chicken bake. It was really creamy and simple enough for the kids to enjoy too because all the ingredients are kid-approved (chicken, crescent rolls, cheese!) It reminded me of the Chicken Crescent Roll BundlesĀ we’ve loved for years, and if you love casseroles and the flavors of chicken, sour cream, cheese and cream of chicken soup (I mean, who doesn’t?!) then you’ll love this dish!
Here is the printable recipe:
Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 rotsserie chicken cut into bite size pieces
- 8 large crescent rolls Big and Flaky kind
- 2 cup cheddar cheese shredded, divided in half
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix chicken, and 1 cup cheddar cheese.
- One at a time, place crescent roll on a flat surface and add a heaping scoop of chicken mix. Roll up and pinch any openings to seal. Repeat with each roll. Set aside leftover chicken. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
- While rolls are baking, heat soup, milk, sour cream and 1 cup cheese in a pot over medium heat, stirring until cheese has melted. Keep warm on low.
- After 10 minutes of baking, remove rolls from oven, pour remaining chicken mixture around the rolls, top with sauce and bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove and serve warm. Enjoy.

Do the crescent rolls get soggy in this?
They are soft and a little crisp around edges and yes, the bottom gets a little squishy, but not soaking and not edible. Hope you’ll give it a try!
Did you mean inedible?
Haha..yes š Thanks!
Can this be frozen before baking?
I personally haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. Let me know what you think. Thank you!
Hello. Can you make this with chicken breast? That’s what I want to use for dinner. Thanks
I haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. I’m sure they’d be great! Let us know š Thanks!
What are Cresent rolls? They may be known by another name in Australia.
Usually it comes in a can & you can find it in the refrigerated section at the store. Here is a link you could try..http://www.food.com/recipe/copycat-pillsbury-crescent-rolls-365725. Hope that helps!!
This is delicious but the sauce wasn’t as smooth and creamy as it could have been. I wonder if the sour cream “broke” or I did something wrong. Did that happen to anyone else? I would definitely make again.
Very easy to make good love it ????
Thank you so much!!
This has been a favorite of my family for years! We do have a slight variation though and thought you might like to try it. We use one can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 large jar of undrained pimentos. yum!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing!
I can’t wait to try this ! We live on a beef farm but my hubby luuuves chicken! lol Thanks for taking the the time to share :))
Awe, thank you!! We love chicken too! I hope he likes it!
I was thinking of making this recipe (Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole) for turkey leftovers at Thanksgiving. I can’t figure out where the last cup of cheese is used. The recipe calls for 3 cups of cheese, but only 2 are used.
Sorry, it’s only the two. I will need to change that. Thanks for catching that! ENJOY!
Turned out delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe
You are so welcome! I am glad you liked it! Thank you š
I want to make this ahead of time should I cook it after adding the sauce or finish cooking the next night to serve warm?
I would probably finish cooking the next night. I haven’t personally made ahead of time, but if I were..that’s what I would do š Good luck!
I added 1 cup each of frozen peas and corn. Turned out delish!
Sounds perfect!! Glad you liked it!! Thank you!
Your recipe calls for 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, but only two cups called for in recipe instructions.
Use the 2 cups. I will need to fix that š Thank you!
Question: I have croissants already cooked that I’d like to use. Don’t have CRESCENT rolls handy. What do you think?
That would work great! Thank you & enjoy!
Yummy! My daughter made this for her home economics class and it turned out great!
About how much chicken do you think you use? I plan to use chicken breast.
I would maybe use 3-4. Just depends on how much chicken you like š Enjoy!
