Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack featuring tender shredded chicken blended with creamy cheeses and garlic, 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

Other

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: 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 until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Prepare the dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface, separating it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
  4. Fill and roll crescents: Take one triangle of dough and place a spoonful of the chicken cheese mixture at the wide end. Roll the dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet: Place each filled crescent roll on the greased baking sheet with the pointed end down to prevent unrolling during baking. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked chicken breast or leftover roasted chicken for best results.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the filling.
  • These crescent rolls can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking, then baked fresh when needed.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or honey mustard for added taste.
  • Keep an eye on baking time as ovens may vary slightly; avoid over-browning.
