Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Crust and Topping
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli florets, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare Crust: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Make sure to seal the seams to form a consistent crust base.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust in the baking dish.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken and broccoli layer to create a cheesy topping.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough turns golden brown and the cheese becomes bubbly and melted.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly after baking. Slice and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning to the filling before assembling.
- Ensure broccoli is steamed until just tender to avoid overcooking during baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
- Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor profile.
