Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls Recipe

These Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls are packed with a creamy, flavorful filling made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, and a few seasonings, all wrapped up in a soft, buttery crescent roll. They’re perfect for anyone craving a comforting, easy-to-make meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls (8 rolls)
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or sour cream, if preferred)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing on top)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

1. Shred the chicken: If you haven’t already, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. You can use leftover chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If the filling feels too thick, you can add a little more ranch dressing to reach your desired consistency.

Step 2: Assemble the Crescent Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
3. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. You want to add a generous amount but be careful not to overfill, as it can make rolling difficult.
4. Starting at the wide end, roll up each crescent roll, enclosing the chicken mixture inside. Pinch the edges slightly to seal them.

Step 3: Bake the Rolls

1. Arrange the stuffed crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Amish Peanut Butter Cream PieAmish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
2. Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the melted butter for a golden finish and extra flavor.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
4. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 4: Serve

1. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness (optional).
2. Serve your Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls warm. They’re great on their own or paired with a side salad or dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
