Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 2 cans 8 oz each crescent rolls

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Shred the rotisserie chicken and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and diced onions. Stir in the shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up snugly.
  • Arrange the rolled crescents in a greased baking dish. Pour any remaining chicken mixture over the top and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crescents.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
