Recipe Box, Chicken, Bacon & Asparagus Stuffed Crescent Bake
Okay, this is definitely “eyes roll back in your head,” swoonworthy!
Crescent rolls stuffed with chicken, asparagus and bacon
baked in a bath of Asiago cream sauce…
Now it might not look very exciting, but after the first bite,
you will be wowed!
I recently made Bacon Jam Asparagus Rolls
for our Easter Spring Charcuterie Spread
and decided to turn them into a dinner option
by adding chicken and baking them in a cream sauce
Poach the chicken by submerging it in a sauce pan of chicken broth,
bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat
Leave the chicken undisturbed in the covered sauce pan for 30 minutes
Remove chicken and drain
It’s okay if the chicken is a little underdone
as it will finish cooking when the dish is baked
Combine Cream of Chicken soup with buttermilk*
and 1 cup of Asigo cheese in a sauce pan
*you can substitute whole milk or Almond milk for buttermilk
Heat and stir until cheese melts and sauce is smooth
Set aside
{I accidentally let mine come to a boil
so it separated a little,
it still baked up beautifully}
Rinse asparagus and wrap in a towel
Microwave for 2 minutes on high
Unwrap immediately and place on a cutting board
Cut into 1 inch pieces
Combine chicken, bacon, asparagus and just enough mayonnaise to bind
You could also use Ranch dressing, Alfredo sauce,
sour cream or plain yogurt
Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles
Place 2 T or so of filling on short side of triangles and roll up
Place rolls into a greased 8 x 8 inch casserole dish
Place any remaining filling around rolls
Pour sauce over chicken rolls and top with reserved 1/2 cup cheese
Dish can be covered and refrigerated before baking at this point if desired
Bake at 350 degrees {bring dish to room temperature} for 30 minutes
or until dough is cooked through and dish is bubbling
