I was looking for a different way to cook chicken that is easy and the family would like. So I raided my pantry and came up with this. It came out looking great and we all loved it that I would probably use it for my next pot luck. And I thought I should share it with everyone on JAP. I hope you like it.

How To Make cheesy chicken croissant casserole

For the chicken: Add all ingredients together in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil then lower the heat, cover and let simmer till chicken is fork tender; about 2 hrs. this could be done a day ahead if you want.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Shred the chicken in a mixing bowl using 2 forks, add the 2 soup cans and the cream and mix well. Slice the croissants in 2 lengthwise.
Step 3

In a 9x13 casserole arrange the sliced croissants with the cut side up covering the bottom of the dish.
Step 4

Spread the chicken/soups mixture all over
Step 5

Top with the rest of the croissants cut side down
Step 6

Spread the shredded cheese all over the top. Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray and cover the casserole.
Step 7

Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 30 min or until it's bubbling and the cheese has melted. Remove the foil and broil for 5 minutes for a bit of browning if you like.
