Ingredients

• 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)

• 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup

• 1 soup can full of milk (use the soup can to measure)

• 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Chicken

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook the chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or pan-frying them until fully cooked, then shred them using a fork or chop them into small pieces.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling

1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, and grated mozzarella cheese. Stir until well combined and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Roll and Bake

1. Unroll the crescent rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll. Roll up each triangle into a tight bundle, pinching the edges to seal.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.

Step 4: Serve

1. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving.

2. Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
