Step 1
Add 2 tbsp of butter and sauté the onions over medium heat until lightly browned.
Step 2
Add garlic and sauté one minute, then, add mushrooms and the asparagus.
Step 3
Remove pan from the heat and combine with the cooked rotisserie chicken and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cool this mixture which will stiffen it up and make it easier to stuff your croissants later.
Step 4
Open a tube of croissant dough and lay out 4 rectangular dough pieces (on a lightly floured surface) by keeping two of the triangles together, rather than separating them at the perforations. This will give you a rectangular dough piece.
Step 5
Place 1/3rd cup of the chicken mixture at the narrow end of the croissant dough and gently roll forward to encase the filling within the dough. The dough needs to fully surround the filling.
Step 6
Place each finished roll-up, seam side down on a non-stick baking sheet and when all are finished, you may brush the tops of each with a egg wash (optional) and then place them in a pre-heated 365 F oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until the croissant dough is golden brown and baked through.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and serve with a sauce made from cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup, properly reconstituted, per directions.
