Rave reviews

Every Tuesday night we have "the guys" (Jason, Danny and Chris) over for dinner. They are guys from Geoff's unit that are here at the course with Geoff and they live on post in not so great conditions. We have them over to give them time away and a home cooked meal. I thought I would share what I made tonight because it got rave reviews from them. They are always really appreciative and enjoy what I make but tonight they definitely loved it! Here is the recipe:

Croissant Chicken
Serving size 4

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
2 Pillsbury Crescent rolls
2 cups of shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 can of Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup of milk

You can boil the chicken for 20-25 mins until fully cooked or you can cook in the crock-pot for 3-4 hours on high. I prefer the crock-pot but both work fine. Dice cooked chicken into bite size pieces or shred chicken if you used the crock-pot method.

Place croissants in a glass baking dish (the glass will help you later) pinching the seems between 2 croissants to create a rectangle. Place chicken on top and then place another rectangle of croissants on top to create a pocket with the chicken inside. Repeat 4 times to create 4 pockets.

In mixing bowl combine soup, cheese and milk. Pour on top of croissant pockets making sure to completely cover all pockets with mixture.

Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30-45 mins. Keep an eye on it because tops will burn if you aren't careful. You can cover with foil for first half of baking time to keep from burning. Remove foil near end of cook time to brown the top. When you think they are finished cooking look at the bottom of the pan to see if the croissants are brown if they aren't they may be doughy inside.

Serve and enjoy! I usually serve with a green veggie.

I hope you enjoy this Miller family favorite!
