Chicken Pot Pie

The base for this recipe came from allrecipes.com and we have make it for over a year. The original recipe calls for pie crust on top. Last time I made it, Cousin Amanda mentioned that her mom made chicken pot pie with biscuits on top. After thinking about it, I decided to try it with crescent rolls. It was amazing! It is a bit more work than the frozen veggie/canned soup/Bisquick version, but it is well worth the time!

1 cup onion, diced
