Chicken Crescent Bake


So I saw a recipe on Pinterest yesterday and made a few changes based on what I like and thought would taste good...and it turned out to be AMAZING!

Ingredients:
  • 1 roll 8 count reduced fat crescent rolls (or jumbo size if you are making more than 4)
  • 1 cup shredded reduced fat colby jack blend (or cheddar, or whatever cheese you want) cheese
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Light cream cheese (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 can 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can fat free milk (use the soup can)
  • Sliced Baby Portabella Mushrooms (about 1/3 cup)
  • Olive oil
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Cut chicken breast into cubes
  • Coat the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil, about 1 tablespoon, and turn burner on to medium/medium-high
  • Place chicken cubes in pan sauté the chicken for about 10 minutes (make sure the internal temp reached 165 degrees), turning the chicken cubes often to cook evenly.
  • Unroll crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles, two triangles to a rectangle, and pinch the seams so that the triangles won't split apart when you build your biscuits
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto each rectangle
  • Place 1/4 cup shredded cheese on top of the cream cheese
  • Place 1/4 cup of your cooked chicken cubes onto your cheese and begin to fold/wrap the crescent to seal it up
  • It doesn't have to look pretty just make sure to pinch and wrap the crescent so that it won't break/split apart
  • Place in 9x9 baking dish

  • Make soup mixture with one can of soup and can of milk. Pour half of the soup over the biscuits.
  • Place some sliced mushrooms around the biscuits in the soup
  • Place in oven and cook for 30 min on 350.
Ta-Daaa!!!


I served this with steamed broccoli and made a cheese rue with the left over soup. If you want to do that too here are the  brief steps:
  • Place one bag of frozen broccoli in a pot with 1/2 cup water, bring to boil, cover and turn to medium-low and simmer for 8 min, drain and serve.
  • With the left over soup place on low on the stove top, stir in about 2 tablespoons of flour and about a half cup of shredded cheese.
  • Pour soup over broccoli and serve
