  • 1 Deli rotisserie chicken
  • ¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 (10.75-oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup with herbs
  • ½ cup half-and-half (or milk)
  • 1 (8-oz) can reduced-fat crescent rolls
  • 1 bag frozen primavera vegetables (red peppers, asparagus, peas, carrots), 10–12 oz

Prep

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut butter into pieces, then place in medium bowl with cream cheese to soften.

    3. Stir vegetables (and any extra chicken filling) into remaining soup mixture; pour over rolls. Top with cheese and cover with foil; bake 25 minutes.
