Chicken Crescent Wreath

(recipe from Mountain View 8th Ward Relief Society cookbook)

2 (8 oz) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
1 c. shredded Co-Jack cheese
2/3 c. condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 c. fresh broccoli
1/2 c. chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 c. water chestnuts, chopped
1 (5 oz) can white chicken, drained or 3/4 c. chicken, cooked and cubed
2 T. onion, chopped

Arrange the crescent rolls on a 12-inch pizza pan, forming a ring with pointed ends facing the outer edge of pan and wide ends overlapping. Combine the remaining ingredients; spoon over wide ends of rolls. Fold points over filling and tuck under wide ends (filling will be visible). Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes 6-8 servings.

My suggestions:
  • I would use a can of Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup, instead of just the regular kind. The Healthy Request soup has 45% less sodium than the regular product, which is just what this recipe needs- less salt.
  • Use the entire can of soup- for a couple of reasons: 1) it makes the dish creamier and less dry and 2) what else are you going to do with the leftover soup? It's better to use it in the recipe than just let it go to waste. :-)
Overall, this dish was so so SO tasty (minus the salt)! Two thumbs WAY up!

  1. I've done this with a more Mexican-style theme by using taco seasoning with the meat (either hamburger or chicken), bell and chili peppers, guac, sour cream, and salsa. it's tasty as well.
