For our family of three, I make one-half of this amount. There is still some for the midnight snacker (David) and enough for Mike's lunch at work the next day. But, I buy two rolls of crescents. You'll know why shortly,

Terri's Tip
I've been known to add one can
of Ortega Diced Green Chiles, 4 oz.,
for a bit of Southwest kick.
Hold back a tablespoon or so to
add to the sauce mixture.
This dish is good served with fresh or frozen broccoli florets or Normandy vegetables. It is also good with a spinach and strawberry salad.
Wouldn't this be the bomb of a dessert with this chicken dish?

That is why I buy two cans of crescent rolls.
