Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls


  • Author: Emily Hodges
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well blended and creamy. This step is crucial for ensuring that every bite of your crescent rolls is bursting with flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls:

Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and place it near the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough over the filling, starting at the wide end and working your way to the tip. Be sure to pinch the edges closed to keep the filling inside while baking.

Step 4: Brush with Butter:

Place the stuffed rolls on your prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them evenly apart. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to give them a golden, glossy finish once baked.

Step 5: Bake:

Bake the crescent rolls in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Here are some quick cooking tips for perfect Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls:

  1. Shred the Chicken Well: Finely shredded chicken helps the filling blend smoothly, making it easier to roll without uneven distribution.
  2. Don’t Overstuff: Avoid overstuffing the rolls, as it can cause them to burst open during baking. Use just enough filling to cover the wide end.
  3. Don’t Skip the Butter: Brush melted butter on top for a golden-brown, flavorful crust.
  4. Space the Rolls: Leave some space between the rolls on the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
  5. Monitor Baking Times: Oven temperatures vary, so keep an eye on the rolls. If they’re browning too fast, loosely cover them with foil.
