This looks good, making it tonight. It doesn’t say to cook the soup mixture before using on chicken. Is that correct? Assuming it just cooks as the rolls bake in the oven?
correct
Can this be pre made and frozen for a later day? If so, at what point? Is it still as good?
I made this tonight!! Delish!! Hubby couldn't stop talking about it!! I did a good bit of tweeking after reading ALL comments pertaining to this dish. I used 1 whole rotisserie chicken already cooked from deli in the grocery store. I doubled all the other ingredients including 2 cans of crescent rolls. I also added 1 small can of green chiles and half a sweet onion sauteed to the shredded chicken. To the sauce I added some ground black pepper and for the cheese I used Sargento 6 blend Italian cheese about 1 1/2 cup total and a lil Velveeta shredded cheese as well. I added enough sauce mixture to the chicken (not too much) to wet it and keep it together while spooning it into the rolls. It made 2 pans (16 rolls). And i didn't want to risk it being soggy on the bottom as others who made this experienced so I did not put any sauce on the bottom at all. They did get brown on the bottom but not black/burnt- it didn't alter the taste AT ALL. However I did put a lil sauce on top of the rolls more so to keep the top of the rolls from browning faster than the bottom. Baked for 25 mins. Put remaining sauce on top of rolls again and baked for 10 more mins. Done! served it with chicken flavored rice and seasoned steamed mixed veggies as sides… Hubby's new FAVORITE meal!! Said restaraunt quality!!
I can't believe how much I love these because they are so simple. I do them a bit different. I mix 1/2 the cheese with the chicken a long with about 1/3 cup of diced onions. I also add a bit of dry mustard, garlic powder and thyme to the soup mixture. I don't put any of the soup mixture in the crescent rolls.

We made this recipe tonight and give it two thumbs up! Easy to put together which is a major plus after working all day! I sprinkled a little of The Melting Pot's Garlic and Wine Seasoning over the top before before putting it in the oven and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Our Oscar Kitty even approved since he got a couple of bites of the rotisserie chicken while I was prepping dinner!��

I grilled my chicken with chopped onion and chives in a little dab of butter and mixed in a Tbsp of mayo and cheese in chicken ( from previous comments ) before adding to crescents. . My whole family loved this recipe!
I also have made this for years! It is my grown son's favorite. I add a cup of sour cream and 2-3 t. Chili powder to the cream of chicken
I've made this twice now, hoping the second time would turn out better. The flavor was good & the top portion was excellent. I found, however, that on both occasions, the dough on the undersides of the crescent rolls tasted raw & doughy. The tops were nice & crispy & the gravy nice & thick. But the crescent rolls were doughy. I made sure the oven temperature was correct & I deliberately baked it longer the second time to get past the raw rolls…still no luck.
Maybe try not pouring soup on the bottom? Just have the rolls touch it, directly, then pour less soup of the top?
Bake your filled crescent rolls first. Cook liquid ingredients on top of stove till thicken. Pour liquid ingredients over rolls, add shredded cheese on top & return to oven till cheese melted. Takes a little longer, but comes out delicious. This gravy is delicious on mashed potatoes.
The undiluted soup, is my guess.
6 z of chicken serves 4 people???
Can you use cream of mushroom soup instead of the cream of chicken?
I don't see why not. Should be fine. Enjoy!
How did you cook the chicken, boiled or on skillet?
I noticed you have two chicken roll up recipes on you blog. Which one is you favorite?
This is my favorite, but the other recipe is more popular on the internet.

My mom used to make these as well and I love them! The only difference I saw was hers called for 1 tbsp mayo and shredded cheese to be mixed with the chicken before putting it in the crescent roll.
