Ingredients
2 8 oz cans Pillsbury crescent roll dough
2 cans cream of chicken soup
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
2-3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 package Italian dressing mix (or 3 tablespoons)
2-3 green onions, chopped (optional)
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F to get it ready for baking.
In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the softened cream cheese and both cans of cream of chicken soup. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined.
Add the Italian dressing mix and stir until the flavors are fully blended. Lower the heat and keep the mixture warm.
Transfer most of the creamy mixture into a large bowl, leaving some aside to serve later. Add the shredded chicken and chopped green onions (if using). Stir everything together until evenly mixed and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet and separate the dough into individual triangles.
Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto each crescent roll triangle. Starting from the wide end, roll the dough up around the filling.
Place the filled crescent rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 9-12 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Serve warm, optionally drizzling the remaining creamy gravy over the top.

Variations
Add vegetables: I love to mix in some chopped spinach or bell peppers for added texture and flavor.
Cheese lovers: For a cheesy twist, I sometimes sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken mixture before rolling up the crescent dough.
Use different meats: While I prefer chicken, you could also use shredded turkey or even ground beef for a different variation.
Spice it up: I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce if I’m in the mood for some heat.
Storage/Reheating
I can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until heated through. If I’m in a hurry, I’ll use the microwave, but the oven helps keep the rolls crispier.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of soup?
Yes, you can use any type of creamy soup you prefer, such as cream of mushroom or even a homemade creamy sauce. Just keep in mind that the flavor will change slightly.
Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?
Yes! I can prepare the chicken mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When I’m ready to serve, I simply fill the crescent rolls and bake them as directed.
Can I freeze these Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls?
Absolutely! I can assemble the rolls and freeze them before baking. Once they’re frozen, I’ll store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. When ready to bake, I just place them in a preheated oven, and I may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
How do I make the chicken mixture smoother?
If the mixture seems a little too thick, I can add a splash of milk or chicken broth to loosen it up to the desired consistency.
Can I use store-bought shredded chicken?
Yes! If I’m short on time, using store-bought shredded chicken is a great option. Just make sure it’s well-drained if it’s in any kind of liquid.

These Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls are a simple yet indulgent dish that’s perfect for a variety of occasions.
