Layer the Dough

  2. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture over the bottom crescent dough layer, spreading it evenly into every corner.

  1. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the top of the dough with the melted butter. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the buttered top.
  2. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden brown and the filling is bubbling up around the edges.
