1 tsp Sodium Free Chicken Broth Seasoning

Grease bottom of 8-9" square pan. Open crescent rolls and lay crescent rolls out on a cutting board to relax.

In a medium pot, combine soup, milk, cooked chicken, veggies and seasoning. Cook on low until simmering, stirring occasionally.

Press half of crescent rolls into bottom of greased pan. Pour in soup/chicken/veggie mixture. Cover with other half of crescent rolls.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until roll top is golden and flaky.
