Does anyone have any suggestions for a lower calorie version of this? 380 seems a bit high for a serving, I know most of that comes from the crescent roll itself though. Thanks!

Wonderfully DEEEEEEElicious. Easy to prepare great for a sit down dinner or to serve during the upcoming Football season. Both my husband and I loved it. Great texture, taste, and super easy to fix. Give it a try you'll be glad you did!!

This is a great recipe for leftover chicken or turkey. I also had a hard time finding the cheese required so I used one of the new cooking cremes (italian herb) found in the cheese section. I served it with a salad and my picky son said that mom this is a keeper. He even reheated the leftovers as a midnight snack!
