We were pleasantly surprised with how these creamy chicken crescent rolls turned out. The recipe is simple and you can prepare it rather quickly and set the table and make a side salad while they’re in the oven for 25 minutes. I really was doubting whether it was a good idea to use a whole package of cream cheese, but I’m telling you, they were delicious and there is no need to hide the cream cheese flavor with any other seasonings, which I almost tried to do.

Creamy Chicken Crescent Rolls Recipe

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 1 (8 count) package Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup (about 1 celery rib) celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped (I used meat from a Rotisserie chicken)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Soften cream cheese in the microwave. 
  3. Add celery, onion, and chicken to cream cheese and mix.
  4. Unroll croissants onto a cookie sheet. When removing cresent rolls from package, leave together so that two cresent rolls form a square. This will leave you with 4 square croissants.
  5. Put 1/4 of the chicken mixture into the center of each square.
  6. Fold up corners and pinch edges together.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Let set 5 minutes. Slice in half vertically and serve warm.
