Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 box (6.9 oz) Chicken Rice-a-Roni plus butter and water called for on the box
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp milk for chicken filling
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough contains 8-oz can (use triangles)
  • 1 can (4 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough contains 4-oz can (use triangles)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the Chicken Rice-a-Roni according to the package directions, using the butter and water called for on the box.
  • Stir the condensed cream of chicken soup and 1/2 cup milk into the cooked rice until well combined, then spread this rice mixture evenly in the prepared 9x13-inch dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, 2 oz cream cheese, 3/4 cup shredded cheddar, 1 tbsp milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste; stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
  • Separate both cans of crescent roll dough into triangles (total triangles from both cans). Place a portion of the chicken mixture near the wide end of each triangle, roll up tightly, and arrange the roll-ups seam-side down on top of the rice in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
  • Optional: sprinkle additional shredded cheddar over the roll-ups and bake 3–5 more minutes, until the cheese melts. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
