Notes
Tips and Variations
- Stretching the Volume: You can also use 2 cans of Pillsbury Crescent Roll Dough in this crescent roll ring if you’re feeding more folks or want more breading on the exterior. Simply place the rolls more closely together in the center before flattening the base. Make sure to flatten well so that the dough cooks properly underneath. The flattened area should nearly cover the entire base of the pan. Bake an additional 4-6 minutes if needed.
- Fresh Versus Pre-Seasoned Chicken: Seasoned rotisserie chicken or
leftover chicken saves time. It's flavorful and shreds easily for the filling.
However, you can use fresh cooked chicken as well. Just ensure you season it. You might consider seasoning with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and/or poultry seasoning. - Homemade Stuffing: If you don’t have store-bought Stove-Top in your area or prefer homemade, you can make it from scratch:
- 6 cups cubed day stale bread, 2 tablespoons dried parsley, ⅓ cup dried minced onion, ⅓ cup dried celery flakes, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried flaky sage, 1 teaspoon dried flaky oregano, 1 teaspoon salt
- Different Proteins: You can substitute chicken with cooked turkey. Add/adjust seasonings accordinglv.
- Cheese Varieties: Swiss is our favorite with this dish, but you can experiment with different cheese types such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
- Crescent Roll Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls. Puff pastry gives the dish a flakier texture. You can also make crescent rolls from scratch!
- Soup Variations: If you don't like using cream of chicken soup from a can, here is how you can make it from scratch:
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in ⅓ cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in ⅓ cup milk and ⅓ cup chicken broth until well combined. Season with ¼ teaspoon onion powder and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes or until thickened and creamy.
