Chicken Doodles

This is a recipe that my ex sister-in-law and I concocted many years ago. Her family lived in the middle of nowhere, and her & I were left to make our men dinner with what we could find in the fridge and pantry, and this is it. I actually submitted this recipe in a Pillsbury contest and got noted for it (I've since seen several variations on the web). These were named by my 5 year old step-son. He asked what they were called and I told him that they didn't have a name, so he took it upon himself to name them "Chicken Doodles". Twenty+ years and 4 grand-kids later, that is what we still call them. I hope you enjoy them. *Note: I'm guessing at the ingredient amounts of cheese, also for how much of the meat & cheese go into each roll, so use your own judgement. Sorry, I make them by memory and repetition only. P.S. If you can figure out a way to make them "less soggy", please post a note for review of your alterations. Thank you, and enjoy!

• Ready In: 37 mins
• Yields: 8 crescents

Ingredients

• 1 (8 count) can  Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls (refrigerated)
• 1 (10 ounce) can  white chicken meat packed in water (drained, I use Swanson)
• 1 (10 3/4ounce) can  Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1 (10 3/4ounce)  empty soup can milk (filled only 3/4 way up for thicker sauce)
• 1  cup cheddar cheese (finely shredded, divided)

Directions

1. Thoroughly drain the canned chicken and empty into a medium size bowl and fluff up (break apart) the chunks with a fork (you will not use it all 'inside' the rolls, but it will be used).
2. Unroll chilled crescents and stretch them a bit (to make them wider) on a large cutting board.
3. Preheat oven to 375*F.
4. Place a large pinch of chicken (maybe a heaping tablespoon) onto the wide end of each crescent. Add a pinch (maybe 2 teaspoons) of the shredded cheese on top of the meat (See *Note in the intro). Try and fold the points of the wide end in a tad to secure the filling. (This never works for me, but I thought I would suggest it. No worries, what ever falls out while rolling them will get used anyway). Begin to roll up the crescent as you normally would, trying your hardest to keep the filling in them.
5. Once rolled, pinch the ends a bit to try and hold everything inches With the ending point underneath, bend rolls into the infamous crescent shape and place each crescent roll into a 9x13x2 non-stick cake pan.
6. What ever chicken and cheese that fell out and remains on your cutting board, add it to the bowl with the left-over chicken. Empty the Cream of Chicken soup into the same bowl and add the milk. Mix thoroughly with a fork.
7. Spread a small amount of the soup mixture into bottom of baking dish, then around the rolls and lightly spoon a small amount over the top of the rolls. Place a pinch of cheese (maybe a tablespoon) over the top of each roll (and sprinkle a bit in between the rolls over the sauce). Bake for approx 20-25 minutes (times may vary). When risen, golden brown and bubbly, they're done.
8. Enjoy!
