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.

Spoon warm sauce over crescent-wrapped chicken. Serve immediately.

Baking this crescent-wrapped chicken without sauce ensures that the crescents and chicken are fully baked.
Serve with a fresh Caesar salad for a complete meal.
Top with extra basil for a hit of freshness.
