Deep-Dish Traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu Crescent Casserole

Submitted by PSU Lioness

"I adapted this recipe from one that I found on the Pillsbury website to get a casserole that is more like the traditional chicken cordon bleu. The flaky, sweetness of the crescent rolls in this recipe knocks the taste out of the park! Serve with broccoli for a complete meal."
