Notes
I used frozen popcorn chicken in this casserole. I like Tyson’s Anytizers brand.
There is no need to thaw or bake the chicken before wrapping it in the crescent rolls. The chicken will cook along with the rest of the casserole.
I used cheddar cheese in this recipe. Feel free to use any cheese that you prefer. Don’t want cheese? You can omit it.
You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate overnight.
Can Chicken Mini Breakfast Casserole be frozen? Sure! I usually freeze this casserole after baking and reheat it when ready to eat.
