Ingredients

1 can Crescent Rolls or Crescent Dough
1 small Onion diced, yellow, sweet, red
2 cups Broccoli Florets chopped small or (12oz.) bag frozen broccoli
8 ounces Sliced Mushrooms
1 10.5 oz. can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 10.5 oz. can Cream of Chicken Soup
8 ounces Cream Cheese
½ cup Chicken Broth or Water
Salt & Pepper to taste
4 cups Cooked Chicken diced or shredded
2 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
2 sleeves Ritz Crackers or any butter cracker, crushed
½ cup Butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
Roll out the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish to form the crust.
Layer the vegetables. Spread the diced onion over the dough, then the broccoli, and finally the mushrooms.
Make the sauce by adding cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to a pot over medium heat. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the chicken to the sauce and stir until well combined.
Pour the chicken mixture evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the casserole.
Mix the cracker topping by combining crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly over the cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

Heating the sauce on the stove melts the cream cheese and helps everything blend smoothly, so you don’t end up with little lumps in your casserole.
A rotisserie chicken saves time for those busy nights.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
