So yummy! I doubled the sauce and instead of making individual servings, I assembled more like a pot pie idea with one roll of croissant dough on bottom and second roll topping like a pie! Sauce as base layer and over top of pie! Add extra bake time to ensure dough cooked through…Turned out awesome!!Reply

I tried this on a whim because I had left over roasted chicken that needed to be used. It was perfect! It was excellent! It was delicious! But I don’t count, my husband loved it! That’s all that matters to me at 59th wedding anniversary coming up. He loved it and he smiled! It was so good! Thank you for sharing.Reply
