Kittencals Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the milk, Crisco, sugar and salt on top of stove until fairly warm (just until the butter melts, but does not have to melt completely) remove from heat and cool until warm but not hot (if you are in a hurry, place in the fridge for about 20 minutes).
• Warm egg slightly in warm water to bring to room temperature only.
• When milk is still warm but not hot, place 3-1/2 cups flour in the Kitchen Aid stainless steel mixing bowl bowl with room temp egg and cooled milk/butter mixture, mix, cover with a towel to keep all ingredients warm while proofing yeast.
• Proof yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar for 10 minutes until foamy, then add to bowl.
• Start mixing/kneading (adding more flour until a smooth semi-sticky dough is formed (knead for about 8-10 minutes on the heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader blade.
• Remove the dough and let stand covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes.
• Gather up dough and knead gently for a couple of times, then form into a ball.
• Place dough into a well greased bowl.
• Cover and rise for 1 - 1-1/2 hours.
• Punch down dough.
• Divide dough into two or three balls, (three sections will give you smaller crescents) then roll into an even circle with a rolling pin and spread/brush liberally with melted butter (use only butter!).
• This is a great tip, roll out the dough and just sit a small pizza pan lightly on top of your rolled dough, then run a pizza cutter all around the edges of the pizza pan, you will have an even round circle.
• Cut into even size triangles (I use a pizza cutter for this!).
• Roll up the dough starting at the larger end.
• Place on a baking sheet that has been lightly brushed with melted butter.
• Cover and rise for about 30-45 minutes or until almost doubled.
• Bake for about 20 minutes at 375°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; pan-fry chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. Shred chicken.
• Spread chicken over crescent roll triangles. Roll triangles, starting with the wider end, around chicken. Arrange rolls on prepared baking dish with the seam sides down. Place rolls into prepared baking dish.
• Mix cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl; pour mixture over crescent rolls.
• Bake in preheated oven until bubbly and rolls are golden brown, about 40 minutes.
