Do you have a “go-to” meal that you keep reverting back to when you don’t know what else to make for dinner? Easy Cheesy Chicken Croissants were my go-to quick-fix meal as my kids were growing up.
First of all, I knew they would be happy to see this dish was what they were being presented for dinner. Secondly, I knew it would be easy to throw together. Sometimes I would make it early in the day and refrigerate it until I was ready to bake it. And Third, It was ingredients I would most likely have on hand.
What do I need to get started
The ingredients are so basic.
- crescent rolls
- cooked chicken
- cream of chicken or mushroom soup
- shredded cheese
Step 1
First I spray a small baking sheet.. depending on how many I am serving I use different size dishes. But this 9 x 13 glass dish works well.
I unroll crescent rolls from the cans and roll them back up in croissant shapes. After this, I lay them in the dish.
Step 2
Mix soup, chicken, along with broth, and 1 cup of cheese together. Spread this over the croissant mixture.
Step 3
After the soup mixture is evenly poured over the croissants, sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
Step 4
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-45 minutes.
See what I mean about it being so simple to throw together! It’s also a great dish to teach your kids to make. They will feel so accomplished when they can make their favorite meal.
Additional tips
I always can my own chicken. I have been doing this for well over 2 decades and my pantry can never be without this wonderful time saver. To see how easy it is to can chicken you can tap on the link below to read my previous post.
If you want to take a little more time, you can fill the croissants with soup mixture instead of spreading over the top of them. This will make your croissant more crispy and the filling is a nice surprise on the inside. I found my children ate them just as well with the soup on top so I skipped this step for convenience.
