Crescent and Chicken Roll-ups


  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (optional, for added creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or buffalo sauce (for flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese (if using), ranch dressing or buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  2. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  3. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the pointed end, enclosing the filling completely.
  4. Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

4. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and flaky.
  2. Optional: Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top during the last 2–3 minutes of baking for a melty finish.

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  2. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
  3. Serve warm with ranch dressing, hot sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

  5. Perfect as a standalone snack, appetizer, or light meal paired with a side salad or roasted veggies.

Tips for Success

  • Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken for the filling.
  • Add Extras: Stir in diced jalapeños, sautéed spinach, or crumbled bacon for added flavor and texture.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the roll-ups ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
