As if cooking blogs weren't enough. I'm now addicted to Pinterest, but I'm sure my family doesn't mind all the new things they get to eat. I found this recipe on Pinterest, but it comes from the blog 'plainchicken.com' It's very similar to my other chicken crescent roll ups recipe that I used to make on a weekly basis until I got so sick of them but these looked good so I thought I'd give them a try. They were seriously SO good! Of course I only post recipes on here that I think are worth trying, but you should try these!

2 (8 ounce) cans Reduced Fat Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls (I only used one)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or swiss cheese (or any cheese of choice)
1/2 cup milk
Filling
4 ounces cream cheese (very soft)
2 tablespoons butter (very soft but not melted)
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tsp minced onion flakes (I left this out)
2 large cooked chicken breasts, finely chopped (or use a rotissori chicken my personal favorite)
1/2-3/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
2 Tbsp. milk
1-2 cup grated cheddar cheese (for topping)
Set oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. Mix together milk, 3/4 cup cheese and chicken soup (can season with black pepper if desired). Place most of the mixture on the bottom of the pan, leaving out just a little bit to spread over the top. For the filling (make certain that the cream cheese and butter are very soft) in a bowl, mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder. Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined. Add in 2 tablespoons milk; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry). Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste. Unroll the crescent rolls. Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end. Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole. Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired. Bake for about 30 minutes.
