Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls are a delicious and comforting snack or appetizer featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and parsley, all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for your next party or a cozy family meal.

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

Other

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Roll Out Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it flat on a clean surface, being careful not to tear the dough.
  4. Fill Dough Triangles: Take one dough triangle at a time, place a spoonful of the chicken filling near the wider end of the triangle. Fold in the sides slightly and carefully roll the dough from the wide end toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling.
  5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end underneath to help prevent unrolling during baking. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  6. Bake: Bake 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 before serving to let the filling set and avoid burns.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken leftover from a roast or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • If cream cheese is too firm, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to soften before mixing.
  • Feel free to add extra herbs like thyme or chives for more flavor.
  • These rolls can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but are best served fresh.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the rolls lightly with melted butter before baking.
