Ingredients

• 4 pieces croissants
• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Slice the croissants in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Spread half of the shredded chicken over the croissant bottoms in the dish.

Step 5

Pour half of the soup mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the soup mixture.

Step 7

Layer the top halves of the croissants over the previous layer, pressing down gently.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process: add the remaining shredded chicken, pour the remaining soup mixture, and sprinkle the final cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 9

Dot the top of the casserole with small pieces of unsalted butter for extra richness.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 11

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
