Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls are a simple, delicious dish made by filling crescent roll dough with a savory chicken mixture. To prepare, start with cooked, shredded chicken. Mix it with cream cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Open a can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate the triangles.
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each triangle, then roll them up from the wide end to the narrow end, encasing the filling. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and bake according to the package directions, usually at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
These rolls are great as appetizers, snacks, or even a main course, and they pair well with a side salad or vegetables.
Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breasts boiled and diced
- 8 oz Cream cheese room temperature
- 1 medium Onion diced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 cans Crescent rolls 32 rolls
- 2 cans Cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz each
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 12 oz Evaporated milk
- 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Sauté the diced onion in a large pan with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Remove from heat and add cream cheese. Stir until melted and well combined with the onions. Add the diced chicken and mix well.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll. Roll the crescent roll towards the point, tucking in the sides.
- Place the stuffed rolls about ½ inch apart in a 9×13 baking dish. (This recipe usually requires 2-3 baking dishes.)
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat (or in the microwave), combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and evaporated milk. Heat until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the rolls until they are covered. Top with grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: For a quicker prep time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of boiling and dicing chicken breasts. This will save you time and add a delicious flavor to the filling.
- Prevent Overfilling: Be careful not to overfill the crescent rolls with the chicken mixture. A generous tablespoon is enough to ensure the rolls seal properly and don’t burst open while baking.

Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls and sauce ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge, then assemble and bake when ready to serve. This way, the rolls stay fresh and the sauce remains creamy.
Can I Freeze the Leftovers?
Absolutely! Let the rolls cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
What Can I Use Instead of Cream of Chicken Soup?
If you prefer, you can make your own sauce by combining 2 cups of chicken broth with 1 cup of heavy cream, thickened with a bit of flour or cornstarch. This will give you a homemade version of the creamy sauce.
