Delicious and easy-to-make Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with creamy cheeses and flavorful herbs, all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough. Perfect for a quick snack, appetizer, or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dough

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Other

  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the 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 shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper. Mix well until the filling is uniform and creamy.
  3. Prepare Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean, flat surface, separating the dough into individual triangles.
  4. Fill and Roll: Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling at the wider end of each dough triangle. Roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed end, folding in the sides as you roll to encase the filling completely.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each crescent roll on the prepared baking sheet with the point side down to help keep the roll sealed. Continue until all dough and filling are used.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute shredded cooked chicken with turkey or even leftover rotisserie chicken.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the filling.
  • Use fresh parsley for brighter flavor, or dried parsley if that’s what you have on hand.
  • These crescent rolls can be baked ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
  • To make them lower in fat, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
