Description

These Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack featuring tender shredded chicken, creamy cheeses, and a blend of flavorful seasonings wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough. Perfectly baked to golden, cheesy perfection, they’re great for parties, game days, or a quick savory bite.

Ingredients

Scale

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

For Baking

  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth and consistent filling.
  3. Unroll Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it carefully on a clean, flat surface.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Take one triangle of dough, place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling at the wider end, then roll the dough towards the pointed end, making sure to tuck in the sides so the filling stays inside.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end underneath to prevent unrolling during baking. Repeat with all dough triangles and filling.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burns.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy option.
  • Use fresh parsley for a burst of freshness or dried parsley if fresh isn’t available.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve these rolls warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
