Chicken Cresent Casserole

This casserole was created from a pantry scrounge. It turned out really good.

 

Ingredients:

1 bag Schwan's frozen diced chicken
1/2 bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 C milk
1 jar chicken gravy
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
salt & pepper to taste
1 tube crescent roll dough

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
In large bowl beat together cream cheese, gravy, soup, milk and salt & pepper. Mix in chicken and vegetables. Pour into a 9X13 casserole dish that has been sprayed with PAM, cover and bake 30 minutes. Unroll crescent dough and set aside. Remove casserole from oven, uncover and use kitchen shears to snip bite size pieces of dough over top. Use a spoon to press dough into casserole slightly. Cover and return to oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until dough is golden brown on top.

Variation: (This is super creamy and cheesy!)
2 cans shredded chicken (do not drain)
1 cup each of whatever frozen veggies you have on hand (carrots, green beans and corn are great together)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 C milk
4 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
1 tube crescent rolls
