How to Make Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Quick Overview
This dish is quick to prepare and even quicker to disappear. Creamy chicken filling is wrapped in crescent dough and baked to golden perfection, with a little extra creamy soup gravy drizzled on top for good measure. Total prep time? About 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz) cans Pillsbury crescent roll dough
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 2 to 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 package Italian dressing mix (or 3 tablespoons)
- 2 to 3 green onions, chopped (optional)
Step-by-Step
- Preheat: Set your oven to 375°F.
- Make the sauce: In a medium pot over medium heat, add the cream cheese and both cans of cream of chicken soup. Stir until smooth.
- Add seasoning: Stir in the Italian dressing mix until well combined. Reduce heat to low.
- Mix filling: Pour most of the creamy mixture into a large bowl (reserving some in the pot for gravy). Add shredded chicken and green onions (if using) to the bowl and mix well.
- Assemble rolls: Separate crescent roll dough into individual triangles. Scoop a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each triangle, fold in the sides, and roll toward the long point.
- Bake: Place the rolls on a cookie sheet and bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm and spoon the remaining gravy mixture over the top if desired.
What to Serve Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls With
These crescent rolls pair wonderfully with light, fresh sides like a simple garden salad, steamed broccoli, or roasted carrots. Want something a bit more indulgent? Try mashed potatoes or mac and cheese for the ultimate comfort food meal.
Top Tips for Perfecting These Savory Rolls
- Soften the cream cheese: This helps it blend more easily into the soup.
- Shred your own chicken: For best texture, use leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken.
- Customize the filling: Add in chopped spinach, cooked bacon, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese to switch things up.
- Don’t overfill: A heaping spoonful per roll is perfect—too much and they’ll burst open while baking.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual rolls for 30-60 seconds, though the texture will be softer.
These rolls also freeze well! Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven directly from frozen for 20-25 minutes at 350°F.
FAQs
Can I use rotisserie chicken? Yes! Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time.
Can I freeze them before baking? It’s best to bake first, then freeze. Unbaked crescent dough doesn’t always hold up well in the freezer.
What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup? Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup also work well, or try a homemade white sauce.
Conclusion
Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls are everything you love in a comforting dinner: easy, cheesy, and full of flavor. They’re perfect for feeding a crowd, using up leftovers, or just making your weekday meals feel a little more special. Try them tonight and enjoy a cozy bite of homemade goodness.
