Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 can (10 ¾ oz) cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
- ½ cup whipping cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 cups cooked and chopped chicken breast
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- Cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)
How to Make Chicken Crescent Rolls:
- Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup, whipping cream, ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Cook on medium heat until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth. Set aside. - Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, softened cream cheese, softened butter, chopped green onions, garlic powder, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, mayonnaise, and ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated. - Assemble the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread half of the cheese sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Unroll the crescent rolls and place a tablespoon of the chicken filling on the bottom of each triangle. Roll up the crescent rolls and place them seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining crescent rolls. - Top with Sauce:
Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the rolls, then sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top. - Bake:
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. The crescent rolls should be fully cooked and slightly crispy.
Storage Tips:
- Refrigerating Leftovers:
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. - Freezing:
You can also freeze these chicken crescent rolls for up to 4 months. Be sure to label them with the date before freezing.
Serving Suggestions:
These chicken crescent rolls are delicious on their own or served with a side of salad, veggies, or mashed potatoes. You can also enjoy them with some creamy garlic butter on the side for extra flavor!
Cooking Tips:
- For an extra kick, add some chopped bell peppers or jalapeños to the filling.
- Don’t dilute the cream of chicken soup—use it undiluted for the best creamy texture.
- Feel free to use any type of cheese that you prefer. Mozzarella or Parmesan could work as great alternatives.
