Ingredients:
- 1 can of refrigerated crescents (I used Pillsbury Original)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2-3 chicken breasts (depending on how much chicken you prefer), cut into bite-sized cubes
- ¼ cup yellow or sweet onion, chopped
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
How to Make Chicken Gravy
- Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the crescent package. Roll up crescents on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and set aside.
- Over medium heat, melt butter in a large sauce or frying pan. Add cubed chicken and cook until chicken is cooked through (juices will run clear and the internal temperature will be at least 165°F). If there is liquid still in the pan, you don’t need to drain it. Add onion and cook until translucent (about 1 minute)
- Place the crescents in the oven and bake according to package directions.
- Turn heat to medium-low, add the soup, milk, salt, and pepper to the pan of chicken. Stir until well combined and gravy starts to thicken. If you’d like the gravy thinner or you’d like more of it, add some more milk or water.
- Once the gravy is hot and bubbly, serve over the hot crescents.
Tips Tricks and FAQs

- To change the flavor you can substitute your cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom or cream of celery.
