A Busy Mom's Best Friend
This casserole saved my sanity during busy weeks. It takes just 10 minutes to throw together and delivers all the comfort of traditional pot pie without the fuss. The cream of chicken soup and crescent rolls are my secret weapons for getting that made from scratch taste with barely any effort.
Everything You Need From Your Pantry
- Chicken: I often grab a rotisserie chicken from the store or use leftover chicken from Sunday dinner.
- Seasonings: Simple pantry spices like salt garlic powder onion powder and black pepper bring everything together.
- Cream of chicken soup: This creates the perfect creamy base that my family loves.
- Sour cream: A dollop makes everything richer and more luxurious.
- Frozen vegetables: I love using a mix of peas carrots green beans and corn for color and flavor.
- Cheddar cheese: Adds that perfect touch of cheesy goodness to every bite.
- Crescent roll dough: My shortcut to the flakiest most delicious crust.
Putting It All Together
- Mix Your Filling
- Combine your chicken seasonings soup sour cream veggies and cheese in a big bowl until everything is well mixed.
- Layer Your Casserole
- Pour your filling into a greased dish then carefully lay those crescent rolls across the top to create a gorgeous crust.
- Time to Bake
- Pop it in a 375°F oven for about 25 minutes until your crust turns golden and the filling bubbles with goodness.
Make It Your Own
Sometimes I switch things up with puff pastry when I want an extra fancy touch. Just watch your baking time since it might need a few extra minutes in the oven.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I use leftover turkey instead of chicken?
Yes, turkey works great as a substitute. Use the same amount of cooked, cubed turkey in place of the chicken.
- → What if I don't have frozen mixed vegetables?
You can use any fresh or frozen vegetables you have. Just make sure they're cut into small, even pieces for proper cooking.
- → Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the filling ahead and refrigerate, but add the crescent roll top just before baking for best results.
- → Why does the filling need to rest after baking?
The 5-minute rest allows the filling to thicken up, making it easier to serve and preventing it from being too runny.
- → Can I freeze this casserole?
It's best enjoyed fresh as the crescent roll crust may not freeze well. You can freeze the filling separately if needed.
