The secret to this crazy-good casserole is a two-ingredient sun-dried tomato sauce topper.

Ingredients

1/2: cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1: tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

2: cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dough sheet

8: chicken tenderloins (about 3/4 lb)

1 1/2: cups heavy whipping cream

1/3: cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained

1/2: teaspoon salt

1/4: teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
2 In small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and basil until well blended. Set aside.
3 Unroll 1 dough sheet; cut into 4 rectangles. Place 1 chicken tenderloin on one long side of each dough rectangle; roll up. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place seam-side-down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining dough sheet and chicken tenderloins. Sprinkle with Parmesan mixture.
4 Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and thermometer inserted in center of chicken reads 165°F.
5 Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook whipping cream, tomatoes, salt and pepper flakes over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cover to keep warm.
6 Spoon warm sauce over crescent-wrapped chicken. Serve immediately.
