Cheesy Chicken Croissants

by Karen on March 12th, 2008

cheesy chicken croissantsI was looking through the recipe archives this week and couldn’t believe that I haven’t given you this recipe yet.  I am making this tonight and it is so yummy!  My kids even eat it.

  • 2 rolls of croissants (from the dairy case)
  • 2-3 cups cooked chicken, cut or torn into small size pieces
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 can milk
  • 1/2 can water
  • garlic, salt, pepper (optional)

    • How you choose to cook the chicken is up to you.  I would recommend boiling it or cooking it in a skillet with a little butter.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, mix the chicken, half of the cheese, and a dash of the spices together. Spray pan(s) with cooking spray. Unroll croissants and fill with chicken mixture. Then re-roll and lay in pan. In a sauce pan, heat soup, water and milk together until hot, then pour over croissants. Top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.

    Some tips:

  • I like a little more sauce with mine. You can use the family size can if you want.
  • I use 2 rectangular casserole pans to make these.
  • You can cut down on the fat content by use low fat cream of chicken soup, reduced fat cheese, and reduced fat milk. I think they sell reduced fat croissants too.
  • I wait until the croissants are on sale before I make this dish. Sometimes the grocery stores will run these buy 1 get 1 free and then many times Pillsbury has coupons on the Sunday paper.

      Yay! Glad I was able to help out. We ate ours and it was so yummy! I only make it about 3-4 times a year. I was glad to see the croissants go on sale so that I could make it again.

      Ooo, yummy! These look great for the nights dad works late. I’m always looking for something quick, easy, and kid-friendly on those nights, and this will definitely make our menu.

      Amanda: Another good thing is that these are really good as leftovers. I like to use a little extra sauce because the croissants soak it up.

      I am looking forward to trying this and possibly adding broccoli!

      My mouth is watering. These look delish! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Do you think it would work for a pot luck, or would the crescent rolls get soggy?

      I’m glad you all like the recipe.

      Heidi: The broccoli sounds like a great idea. I’ll have to try that next time. I like sneaking veggies in on the kids.

      Hickory Chick: I don’t think it would get soggy. I put the leftovers in the fridge for the next day and I don’t have any problems. I’m getting ready to have some now. :)

      i just discovered a similar thing a few weeks ago: i had no bread in the house, was hungry, and had deli turkey and cheese. So i found a tin of croissants, and kept two sections together, so they were rectangle shaped, and rolled them up with the turkey and cheese and some mustard, and prepared as instructed. Yum! i can’t wait to try yours, though, as it sounds more like dinner than just lunch.

      I make this all the time, although my recipe called for mozzarella cheese, but I don’t use the cheese anyway. Matter of fact, I made this last night! =)
      Yummy

      You gave me this years ago and I haven’t fixed it in a while. Guess I will put it on my list for next week. Thanks for reminding me.

      I made these to take to my sister who just had a baby on Sunday. I put everything together last night, and when I got to her house we put them in the oven for 45 minutes. Between my sister, her husband, me and my husband, we ate all but 2!! The 2 girls shared one and ate mostly carrots & fruit, which I guess I shouldn’t complain about. Thanks so much… we all loved this and we’ll definitely make it again! I think this would be great for a church pot-luck!

      I’m glad you all enjoyed them! I had my leftovers for lunch for 2 days. They were yummy! I’ve never made these for church before, but I’m sure they would be a hit.
