Ingredients for Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

Here’s what you’ll need to create these savory stuffed crescent rolls:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the chicken filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-combined.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Carefully roll each crescent, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the narrow tip. Make sure the filling is enclosed inside the dough.
Place the stuffed rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Cooked chicken options: Use rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken, or even poached chicken to save time.
Cheese choices: Cheddar and mozzarella are great, but feel free to mix it up with Monterey Jack, pepper jack for some spice, or even a soft cheese like Brie for a richer flavor.
Seal the edges: Pinch the edges of the dough tightly around the filling to avoid leaks during baking.
Add veggies: Want to make it more nutritious? Add finely chopped spinach or kale to the chicken mixture before rolling.
Butter brushed tops: Brushing the tops with melted butter before baking gives the rolls a beautiful golden color and an extra layer of flavor.

These Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls are just as good the next day! Here’s how to store and reheat them:

Room temperature: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Refrigeration: If you want to keep them for longer, store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can freeze the stuffed rolls for up to 2 months. Reheat them directly from the freezer in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes or until heated through.

In the oven: To keep the rolls crispy, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
In the microwave: Heat on a microwave-safe plate in 15-second intervals until warmed. Just note that the crescent dough may lose its crispiness when reheated in the microwave.
