Ingredients to Make Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

When it comes to making Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls, the ingredients are what truly make this dish shine. Each component works together seamlessly, creating a symphony of flavors and textures. The crescent roll dough provides a flaky and buttery base, while the creamy filling brings richness and satisfaction. Let’s dive into the ingredients that make this dish a must-try!

• 2 (8-ounce) cans Pillsbury crescent roll dough: The star of the show, this dough is easy to work with and bakes into a golden, flaky texture.
• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup: This soup adds a creamy consistency and rich flavor that binds the filling together.
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened: A key player in the filling, cream cheese brings creaminess and a slight tang, enhancing the overall taste.
• 2-3 cups shredded cooked chicken: The protein component that makes this dish hearty and filling. You can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
• 1 packet Italian dressing mix: This mix adds a burst of flavor with herbs and spices, elevating the dish to another level.
• 2-3 green onions, chopped – optional: For a fresh crunch and a pop of color, green onions can be added to the filling.

Putting Together Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

Making Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls is as enjoyable as eating them! The steps are simple and straightforward, allowing you to create these delightful rolls without stress. Let’s walk through the process together!

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. This is the perfect temperature for achieving a crisp and golden finish on your rolls.
2. In a medium pot, add cream cheese, both cans of cream of chicken soup, and heat over medium. Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy. You want to see it bubbling slightly.
3. Add the packet of Italian dressing mix into the pot and continue stirring. The mixture should now be fragrant with the herbaceous aroma from the dressing. Lower the heat to keep it warm and prevent it from sticking.
4. Pour most of the creamy mixture into a large bowl, leaving just enough in the pot to use as gravy later. This will help maintain a nice texture in the rolls.
5. Now, stir in the shredded cooked chicken and any optional chopped green onions into the large bowl. Mix until everything is evenly coated and well combined.
6. Next, open your cans of crescent roll dough and carefully separate the triangles on a clean surface. Make sure not to tear any of them.
7. On a cookie sheet, lay out the crescent triangles. Scoop a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the thickest part of the triangle.
8. To roll them, fold the left side in, then the right side, and finally roll towards the point. Make sure they are snug but not overly stuffed, or they may burst open during baking.
9. Place the rolled bundles on the cookie sheet with space between each one. Bake in the oven for 9 to 12 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed.
10. Once baked, remove them from the oven and serve warm with the leftover gravy drizzled on top if you desire. Enjoy every bite of your delicious creation!
