Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while still melting well.

Heat cream of chicken soup and milk over medium heat until it simmers, stirring occasionally.

Boil boneless skinless chicken in chicken broth with a little salt and pepper until cooked through, then let it cool and shred it.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded chicken with half of the cheddar cheese and toss together.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray.

Open the crescent rolls and separate them into 8 pieces.

Take a small amount of the chicken and cheese mixture, roll it in a crescent roll, and place it in the pan, leaving space between each roll.

Repeat the rolling process until all the chicken and cheese mixture is used, placing any leftover mixture in the bottom of the pan or on top of the rolls.

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until they start to get crusty on top.

Take the rolls out of the oven, stir the soup and milk mixture to remove lumps, and pour it over the rolls.

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven for an additional 5-6 minutes.
