Here’s a simple and delicious chicken crescent roll recipe—flaky, cheesy, and perfect for a quick meal or snack.
🐔 Chicken Crescent Rolls
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 2–3 green onions, chopped (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
- Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the filling
- In a bowl, mix chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Prepare the crescent rolls
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
4. Fill and roll
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll toward the pointed end, forming a crescent shape.
- Place on the baking sheet, point side down to prevent unrolling.
5. Optional egg wash
- Beat the egg and brush over the tops for a golden finish.
6. Bake
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
🔥 Tips
- Add a teaspoon of hot sauce or ranch seasoning to the filling for extra flavor.
- These can be frozen before baking—just bake a few extra minutes if cooking from frozen.
- Mini crescent rolls work great for appetizers or lunchboxes.
If you want, I can give you a cheesy, broccoli-and-chicken version or a low-carb version using puff pastry or keto dough.
