Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked boneless chicken breast or thighs, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach (optional)
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Dough

  • 1 package crescent roll dough (8 oz)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: Cook the chicken thoroughly by poaching, baking, or sautéing with preferred seasonings. Once cooked, shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix the chicken with shredded cheese, cream cheese or sour cream, and any desired vegetables or sauces until well combined.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Crescent Dough: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and gently press seams together to form a single sheet. Cut the dough into squares or triangles, as preferred.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto each piece of dough. Carefully fold or roll the dough around the filling, sealing edges firmly to prevent leaks during baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the stuffed rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to set, making them easier to handle and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use warm chicken for better blending with cream cheese and even melting of cheese.
  • Seal dough edges securely to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing or leaking of dough.
  • Brush dough with beaten egg before baking for shiny, golden rolls.
  • Add texture by incorporating chopped nuts or crispy bacon bits into the filling.
