  2. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken from water, let cool slightly, and cut into 4 pieces.
  4. Open one 8-count can of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Separate into 4 triangles.
  5. Wrap each piece of chicken with a crescent roll triangle, tucking in the edges.

  7. Arrange chicken bundles seam-side down in the prepared dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
