Chicken pillow crescents

Ingredients:

3-4 cups shredded turkey or chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)

1 can cream of chicken soup 

8 oz. brick of cream cheese

1/3 cup ranch dressing

2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

2 tubes of crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 350. Spray bottom of two 9 x 13 pans.

Combine chicken, cream of chicken, cream cheese, ranch and 1 cup of cheese in a saucepan until cream cheese is melted.  Salt and pepper to taste. Roll out crescent rolls.  Add mix to the middle of crescent rolls and make into a dumpling. Cook for 15 minutes.  Add remaining cup of cheese and bake for 3-5 more minutes until cheese is melted.  

Chicken Tator Tot Bake

Ingredients

¼ cup 2% low-fat milk

1 cup low-fat sour cream

1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

1 can of corn, drained

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked & shredded

16 ounces frozen tater tots

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine milk, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, corn and chicken in medium size pot.  Place on stove top over medium-high heat.  Stir and heat until ingredients mix well; about 3-5 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheese. salt and pepper.  Pour mixture into 9X12 glass baking dish.

Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheese over mixture.  Place tator tots on top of mixture.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.  Remove aluminum foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes uncovered.

This was a nice twist on your classic tator tot casserole. I used pre diced chicken chunks from the deli.  Mine turned out a little salty.  It was very good but definitely on the salty side.  Possibly because I had the chicken strips that are packaged?  If you use real chicken breasts I think it would be better.
