Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

In a pot, poach the chicken breasts in salted water for approximately 15 minutes, cooking until they are tender. Remove the chicken, allow it to cool slightly, and then cut it into four pieces.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and take 4 triangles from the can. Place a piece of chicken on the wide end of each triangle and roll it up, tucking the edges to secure the filling. Place the rolled bundles seam-side down in a greased 8x8 casserole dish.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Pour the cheesy sauce over the chicken crescent rolls in the casserole dish, ensuring they are well-coated.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
