Savory Chicken Crescent Rolls


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 crescent rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Rolls:

  • 1 can (8 rolls) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Optional Additions:

  • ¼ cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • ¼ cup diced green onions or fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, and mayonnaise or sour cream. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and creamy. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

2. 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.

3. Prepare the Crescent Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines. Lay the triangles flat on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Fill the Rolls

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill to ensure the rolls can be properly sealed.

5. Roll and Seal

Starting at the wide end of the dough triangle, gently roll the dough around the filling, tucking in the edges as you go to fully enclose the filling. Place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.

6. Brush with Butter

Melt the butter in a small bowl and brush it generously over the tops of the crescent rolls. For added flavor, sprinkle with dried parsley or a pinch of garlic powder.

7. Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked. The tops should be crisp and slightly flaky.

8. Cool and Serve

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, and enjoy the gooey, savory filling with every bite.
