Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls combine flaky, buttery crescent dough with a creamy, savory filling of shredded chicken and melted cheddar cheese, enhanced with garlic and parsley. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a comfort food snack, appetizer, or quick meal, suitable for any occasion.

Ingredients

Crescent Roll 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

Other

  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Roll Out Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles as indicated on the packaging.
  4. Fill and Shape Rolls: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture at the wider end of each dough triangle. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you roll to seal the filling inside.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place each rolled crescent on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down to help prevent unrolling during baking. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving warm, enjoying the gooey, cheesy chicken inside.

Notes

  • Customize the filling by adding vegetables such as diced bell peppers or spinach, or spices like paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe, making it quick and convenient.
  • These crescent rolls can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking to save time later.
  • For longer storage, freeze the prepared rolls on a baking sheet and transfer to a freezer bag; bake from frozen, increasing baking time slightly.
