Ingredients
For the Chicken Mixture:

- 4 oz softened cream cheese half a standard block
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella for a milder flavor
- 2 tablespoons green onions finely chopped (optional for extra flavor)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Crescent Roll Assembly:
- 1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent roll dough (Pillsbury or any brand)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing the tops
- Optional garnish: additional shredded cheese or chopped parsley
For the Cheesy Sauce (Optional but Delicious):
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine:
- Shredded chicken
- Softened cream cheese
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Green onions (if using)
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- Mix everything until fully combined and creamy. This will be your chicken filling.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
- Roll out the crescent dough and gently tear it into triangles following the pre-cut lines.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of the chicken filling onto the base of each triangle.
- Roll the dough gently, starting at the wide end, over the chicken mixture and toward the point.
- Tuck in the sides if needed to seal the filling inside.
Step 4: Arrange and Brush
- Place each chicken stuffed crescent roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush the tops with melted butter to create a beautiful golden crust.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the hot oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden and are cooked through.
- Optional Step: Make the Cheesy Sauce
- While the rolls bake, you can prepare a quick cheesy sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat cream of chicken soup, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese over medium heat.
- Stir until the sauce is smooth and warm.
- Once baked, drizzle the cheesy sauce over the rolls or serve it on the side for dipping.
Step 6: Serve
- Serve the rolls warm, straight from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped green onions or parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
