Ingredients

• 2 (8-ounce) cans Pillsbury crescent roll dough
• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2-3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 packet Italian dressing mix (or 3 tablespoons)
• 2-3 green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Step 2: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the cream cheese and both cans of cream of chicken soup. Stir until smooth and heated through.
3. Step 3: Add the Italian dressing mix and stir until well blended, then reduce heat to low.
4. Step 4: Pour most of this mixture into a large bowl, reserving some in the pot to use as gravy for serving.
5. Step 5: To the large bowl, add the shredded chicken and chopped green onions (if using). Mix everything together until combined and set aside.
6. Step 6: Separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles and place them on a cookie sheet.
7. Step 7: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each dough triangle. Fold the left side in, then the right side in, and roll toward the long point to seal.
8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Step 9: Serve warm, drizzling with the reserved gravy if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor to the filling.
• Add shredded cheese like mozzarella or cheddar inside the rolls for a cheesy twist.
• Try swapping Italian dressing mix with ranch seasoning for a different flavor profile.
• For a spicier kick, include some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce in the filling.

Storage

Store leftover stuffed crescent rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to keep the dough crispy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the rolls soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen cooked chicken for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen cooked chicken. Just make sure it’s fully thawed and drained of excess moisture before mixing it with the filling to avoid soggy rolls.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble the rolls and place them on a baking sheet covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Bake them within 24 hours, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from cold.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough

• 2 (8-ounce) cans Pillsbury crescent roll dough

Filling

• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 packet Italian dressing mix (approximately 3 tablespoons)
• 2–3 green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the crescent rolls.
2. Prepare Creamy Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine softened cream cheese and both cans of cream of chicken soup. Stir until well blended and smooth.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the Italian dressing mix thoroughly to infuse the creamy base with herby, savory flavor. Reduce heat to low to keep the mixture warm.
4. Separate Base and Gravy: Pour most of the creamy mixture into a large bowl for the filling. Leave some in the pan to serve as gravy on top of the baked chicken rolls later.
5. Combine Filling Ingredients: Add shredded cooked chicken and chopped green onions (if using) to the large bowl with the creamy base. Mix until evenly incorporated and set aside.
6. Prepare Dough: Separate crescent roll dough into individual triangle pieces and place them spaced out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or non-stick spray.
7. Fill and Roll: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Fold the left and right sides of the dough in over the filling, then roll towards the pointed end, creating a secure bundle.
8. Bake: Place the prepared rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 9-12 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
9. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Optionally drizzle or spread the reserved warm gravy over the top for extra flavor and moisture.

• Green onions add a fresh bite but can be omitted if preferred.
• The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for golden-brown crust.
• These stuffed rolls are best served immediately but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
• You can substitute Italian dressing mix with equivalent herbs such as dried oregano, basil, and parsley if unavailable.
