Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack featuring tender shredded chicken combined with creamy cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and a blend of seasonings, all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescent rolls to a golden brown.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy mixture.
  3. Roll out the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles according to the perforations on the package.
  4. Fill the dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and cheese filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Roll crescents: Starting at the wide end, carefully roll each crescent triangle toward the point, encasing the filling inside the dough.
  6. Place on baking sheet: Arrange the filled crescent rolls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese filling is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy your cheesy chicken crescent rolls!

Notes

  • You can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or a pinch of smoked paprika to the filling.
  • Serve with ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping.
  • If desired, brush the rolls with melted butter before baking for a richer crust.
  • These rolls freeze well; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
