Here’s a classic, easy chicken stuffed crescent rolls recipe—comfort-food simple and very adaptable.
Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1½ cups cooked chicken, finely chopped or shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella (optional but good)
- 1–2 tbsp milk or sour cream (for creaminess)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix chicken, cream cheese, cheese (if using), milk/sour cream, and seasonings until smooth.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up gently, tucking sides slightly to keep filling in.
- Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Easy Variations
- Chicken Bacon Ranch: add cooked bacon bits + 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- Buffalo Chicken: add 2 tbsp buffalo sauce + mozzarella
- Chicken Broccoli Cheddar: finely chopped steamed broccoli + cheddar
- Mexican-style: add taco seasoning + pepper jack, serve with salsa
Serving Ideas

If you want, I can give you a make-ahead/freezer version, a no-cream-cheese version, or a casserole-style version using crescent dough.
