Instructions for Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Rolls
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped bacon, ranch dressing, and shredded cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated in the ranch dressing.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles as indicated on the packaging.
- Fill the Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and bacon mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the pointed end. Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with the second can of crescent roll dough and any remaining filling. Make sure to space the rolls a few inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives for added color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Rolls
- Rotisserie Chicken: Using store-bought rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor. Just shred or chop it and you’re good to go!
- Cheese Options: Feel free to mix and match cheeses! Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack can all add different flavor profiles to the rolls.
- Extra Ingredients: For added flavor, consider incorporating diced jalapeños, green onions, or diced bell peppers into the filling mixture.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
These crescent rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, here’s how to store them:
- Refrigerate: Store leftover Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: You can also freeze the uncooked rolls before baking. Just prepare them, place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be baked directly from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Reheating Instructions
- Microwave: For a quick reheating, microwave individual rolls for about 20-30 seconds.
- Oven: For best results, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to help maintain crispiness.
