Ingredients

• 4 cups diced boneless, skinless cooked chicken (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 2 cups frozen peas and carrots (8 ounces)
• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup, or 1 can condensed cream of chicken plus 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup

2. Add 4 cups diced or shredded boneless, skinless cooked chicken and 2 cups frozen peas and carrots to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. From 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup, set aside 1 tablespoon, then add the remaining soup to the baking dish. Gently stir to combine and spread into an even layer.
4. Carefully unroll 1 tube of crescent roll dough and lay it over the filling. Rub the reserved cream soup over the dough.
