Back to that chicken I have in my freezer. It can come in really handy. Not just for this recipe but for a quick Chicken Ala King or Chicken Pot Pie or anything else that requires chicken.
It saves me the time it takes make to poach chicken breast for those recipes. Plus we hate anything going to waste.
Sometimes my market will mark down the chickens that haven’t sold from the previous day to 1.29 for a whole cooked chicken! I grab those chickens up, take them home take all the meat off of them and freeze it just for this kind of recipe.
Can I use a different cream of soup?
Yes you can! You can try cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup or cream of asparagus too. We have actually used all three with great results. It’s really up to you what you like and what your preference is. We love them all.
Can I make this lower calorie?
You sure can! You can also make this lower calorie and lower points if your doing Weight Watchers by using reduced fat crescent rolls and reduced fat cream cheese and shredded cheese.
Crescent Roll Recipes
Refrigerated crescent dinner rolls are great start for so many delicious recipes. We always have crescent rolls in the fridge so this is one of those recipes that can come together very quickly for us.
Crescent rolls are a great staple to have in your fridge. They are great for sweet or savory treats. And of course as bread to do with your dinner!
Can I add vegetables to the filling
Yes you can. We have added some sauteed mushrooms when we have used the cream of mushroom soup. Chopped broccoli when we added the cream of broccoli soup. And chopped asparagus when using the cream of asparagus soup.
You don’t need to use these veggies when swapping out soups we just gave it a try because we had them in the house. You can just use the different soup and keep the filling the same.
If we use the veggies we cut the chicken by about 1/3. If you do have extra filling you can just let toss it in the gravy and let it all cook in there. All that goodness is too good to go to waste!

Working with crescent rolls
I have had a few people mention that they are having a hard time with the filling staying in the crescents. Or that they don’t look that great. Well you know what I would not even worry about that. It’s all about the taste.
If some of the filling falls out so what?! If your crescents don’t look perfect nobody will care so long as they taste amazing! I don’t know about you but I would much rather have a delicious meal that looks a little haphazard. As long as it will know my socks off when I take a bite. My family can be pretty fussy and this one was love at first bite. Nobody cared if there was a bit of filling falling out.
