FILLING THE CRESCENT ROLLS

- Roll them gently to hold the chicken inside.

PREPARING THE CHEESE SAUCE
While the crescent rolls are baking, prepare the cheese sauce, following the instructions below!
- In a medium saucepan, whisk cream of chicken soup, milk, and remaining ¾ cup shredded cheese over medium heat until smooth.
- When crescent rolls are done, remove the pan from the oven.
- Evenly place the steamed broccoli over the top.
- Spoon the cheese sauce around the crescent rolls. DO NOT COVER THE CRESCENT ROLLS. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove and serve.

- This recipe is perfect if you have leftover cooked chicken or a rotisserie chicken on hand! It's a great way to use it up in a delicious way that the family will love.
