Ingredients

- 3 packages crescent rolls – Buttery, flaky crust (seal the seams before using).
- 9 oz frozen mixed vegetables, thawed – A colorful mix of carrots, peas, corn, and green beans.
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded – Rotisserie chicken works perfectly here.
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray a muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prep the Dough
- Lay crescent roll dough flat on a clean surface.
- Pinch seams together to make one solid sheet.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out 12 rounds of dough.
- Press each round into the muffin tin, covering the bottom and sides.
3. Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, thawed mixed vegetables, and shredded chicken.
- Stir until well blended.
4. Fill the Cups
- Spoon the filling evenly into each muffin cup. Avoid overfilling.
5. Add the Tops
- Slice strips of crescent roll dough with a pizza cutter.
- Lay strips across the tops of the muffin cups in a criss-cross or lattice pattern.
6. Bake
- Place in the oven and bake for 18 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown.
- If tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil and continue baking until cooked through.
7. Serve
- Let cool for a few minutes, then use a butter knife to loosen from the tin.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Seal the seams of the crescent rolls well to prevent leaking.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling before adding the top crust.
- If you prefer, make them with puff pastry for an extra-flaky texture.
Storing & Reheating
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm to keep the crust crispy.
