Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 12 oz. boneless chicken breast*
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 4 slices sandwich size, Havarti or swiss cheese, cut in half
  • mayonnaise
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk or milk or almond milk
  • 1 can 8 count, crescent roll dough
  • grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken in a sauce pan and cover with broth. Bring broth to a boil, cover pan and remove from heat. Let chicken sit in broth for 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from broth to a plastic cutting board and shred. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay out crescent roll dough triangles on a cutting board. Fold ham slices in half and tuck a piece of cheese inside. Place ham and cheese on the wide end of the dough triangle. Don't worry if it hangs out or over the edges of dough.
  • Spread top of ham slice with a little mayonnaise then top with 3-4 pieces shredded chicken.
  • Roll up dough enclosing meat and cheese. Place rolls into a sprayed 8" x 8" baking dish. Don't worry if they don't look perfect, it won't matter once they're baked
  • Tuck any extra chicken into the baking dish around the rolls
  • Mix buttermilk with Cream of Chicken soup and spoon over the rolls and chicken. Use the back of a large spoon to spread mixture in an even layer.
  • Sprinkle with grated Asiago or Parmesan. Dish can be covered at this point and refrigerated for baking later if desired.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until dough is cooked through.

Notes

* I used 4 large chicken tenders.  If using breasts cut in half horizontally if they are thick or cut into tenders so they will cook more evenly
