Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and well combined. If you want to add extra flavor, you can also mix in garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasoning you like.
3️⃣ Roll Out Crescent Dough:
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate into individual triangles. Gently press the perforations together to prevent the dough from separating while baking.
4️⃣ Stuff the Crescent Rolls:
Place about 1–2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the widest end of each crescent dough triangle. Carefully roll up each crescent starting from the wide end, enclosing the filling inside.
5️⃣ Bake:
Arrange the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
6️⃣ Serve:
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.

FAQ About Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls:
Can I freeze these rolls?
Yes! You can freeze the unbaked rolls before cooking. Just place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then store them in a freezer bag. When ready to bake, just pop them in the oven straight from the freezer—no need to thaw!
Can I use a different type of dough?
Absolutely! You can use puff pastry, biscuit dough, or even homemade dough if you prefer.
What can I dip these in?
They’re perfect with ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or even a creamy garlic dipping sauce.
Common Problems and Fixes:
Dough won’t stay closed?
Make sure to pinch the seams of the dough tightly when rolling it up. If it keeps opening, try pressing it a little more firmly or using a bit of egg wash (beaten egg) to seal the edges.
Stuffing leaks out while baking?
Don’t overfill the rolls—keep the filling in the center and make sure the edges are sealed tightly.
Flavor Variations You Can Try:
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls: Add a tablespoon of buffalo sauce to the filling for a spicy kick.
Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Crescent Rolls: Mix in some Alfredo sauce and shredded mozzarella for a creamy, cheesy variation.
BBQ Chicken Crescent Rolls: Swap the sour cream for BBQ sauce and add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for a smoky, tangy twist.
