Ingredients 

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
2 teaspoons flour
2 cups chicken gravy
1/2 Gold'n Plump® Deli Rotisserie Chicken, meat removed and shredded (about 2 cups)
1 package (16 ounces) frozen peas and carrots or mixed vegetables
1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dough sheet pastry

Instructions 

Heat oven to 375ºF. Butter or spray a 9x7-inch (1 1/2-quart) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. In a 10 to 12-inch skillet, over medium-high heat, heat oil. Stir in onion, basil, lemon peel, garlic, and lemon pepper seasoning. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is softened, stirring frequently. Stir in flour. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Stir in gravy, chicken, and frozen vegetables. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out crescent dough to a 10x8-inch rectangle. Spoon the hot chicken mixture into baking pan. Cover with crescent dough, crimping edges of the dough. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until dough is golden brown and filling is hot.
