Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls are a delicious and comforting appetizer or snack featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese, cheddar, and herbs, wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for parties, game days, or a cozy family treat.

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

Others

  • 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 the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Unroll Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it fully on a clean flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles as per package instructions.
  4. Fill Dough: Take one triangle of dough and place a spoonful of the chicken cheese mixture on the wider end. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed end, folding in the sides to encase the filling securely.
  5. Arrange Crescents: Place the rolled crescent on the prepared baking sheet with the point side down to prevent unrolling. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling until all are assembled.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving warm to enjoy the creamy cheesy filling.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the filling.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for easy preparation and added flavor.
  • Do not overfill the dough triangles to avoid leaking during baking.
  • Serve with ranch dressing or a spicy dipping sauce for extra flavor.
