I'm always looking for new ways to make chicken, which is not one of my hubby's favorites, but he tends to enjoy chicken casseroles, pot pies and such. He doesn't eat anything but the white meat, so that's also a challenge to make it tasty. This casserole combines both chicken and buttery crescent rolls. It's easy to prepare and sure to be a hit with the whole family! And it's TASTY too!
