A Little Background on Crescent Rolls

Crescent rolls are a flaky, buttery pastry that originated in France, similar to croissants but much simpler to prepare. Over time, crescent rolls became popular in the U.S. as a ready-to-bake product, making it easy to incorporate them into creative dishes like this. The versatility of crescent rolls means they pair wonderfully with savory fillings like shredded chicken and cheese, creating a delicious main course or even an appetizer for parties.

How to Make Chicken Crescent Rolls

Ready to bring some irresistible flavors to your kitchen? Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions to make this delicious chicken crescent roll dish.

Ingredients:

• 2 (8-count) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/4 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, oregano, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
4. Roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and tucking the sides as you roll to enclose the filling. Place the crescent rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. In a small saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, and the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Heat over medium heat, whisking until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
6. Pour the sauce evenly over the crescent rolls in the baking dish, ensuring each roll is covered.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, creamy chicken crescent rolls!

Pro Tips for Perfect Chicken Crescent Rolls:

• To make ahead, you can prepare the chicken mixture and sauce a day in advance, storing them in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and bake.
