Instructions
 

  • First step, using your first roll of Croissant dough, layout to cover the bottom of your casserole dish. No need to spray with non-stick spray. The dough has enough butter to insure no sticking.
  • Next cover the bottom of your casserole dish with cubed chicken thighs, or whichever part of the chicken you enjoy best.

  • Sprinkle the top of the croissant dough with your favorite house seasoning, I like using creole seasoning.
  • Pinch of Salt and Pepper
  • Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes before cooking, or wrap and store for dinner one day this week.
  • Bake at 375 until chicken is cooked through and the croissant dough is cooked. Likely 25-35 minutes. Keep an eye on it.

    Do we need to spray the dish with non-stick? Before placing the first layer of crescent dough? Thanks

    • That is a great question. Answer would be no. The reason is the croissant dough has enough butter in it to take care of casserole dish from sticking. Hope you enjoy the dish.
