Chicken crescent roll ups are one of my family’s very favorite meals! Warm crescent rolls filled with fresh chicken and melted cheese; these roll ups are simple to make and they taste delicious!
These chicken roll ups are so easy to make, they’re perfect for a busy day. Other recipes I like to make when life gets busy are Chicken Tetrazzini, Ham and Potato Casserole or the Chicken and Mashed Potato Bowls.
Chicken Crescent Rolls
If you’ve never tried chicken crescent roll ups, you are in for an amazing treat! Chicken crescent rolls are warm, doughy, soft and filled with tender chicken and melted cheese! These are so good, my kids are usually still eating more once my husband and I are finished.
There are a lot of variations of this recipe, and I am sure they are all super yummy! I have a similar recipe from my husband’s aunt that I have loved for years, but I recently tried this version from my friend and it was fabulous. The only change I made was that I left out 1 carton of fresh mushrooms, chopped. You can add them if you’d like, but I am not a mushroom lover!
How To Make Chicken Rolls Ups
You’ll start this chicken roll recipe by mixing together some shredded chicken, cream cheese, and chopped green onions. Once combined, place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the longer part of your refrigerated crescent dough. I like to use the Pillsbury crescent rolls but any variety should work great.
Roll the dough by bringing the sides in to cover the chicken mixture.
Continue rolling until you reach the end of the dough.
Roll each raw ball through some bread crumbs, then place onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once they are done baking, drizzle with some delicious chicken sauce and sprinkle with a few more green onions. That’s it!!! This crescent chicken seriously tastes sooooo good!!! Give it a try and invite me over for dinner. I’ll bring dessert!
How To Store This Recipe
If you have any of these delicious chicken roll ups left over, you’ll want to store them in the refrigerator inside an airtight container. They will be good in the fridge for at least 5 days. I wouldn’t recommend making these ahead of time and freezing them because I’ve found the flaky crescent rolls just aren’t the same after they’ve been reheated. However, if you have a lot of leftovers and don’t plan on eating them in the next few days, I would freeze them and save them for later.

Other Notes
Just made these and my boys (7, 5, grown adult) were arguing over having enough! These were so easy and delicious. Made them two ways, chicken only and chicken, sautéed mushrooms and onions. Both were so good!
These are so easy and great for a large party.
I totally agree!
yum, these look so amazing!
Thanks Angie!
Love these for lunch! I have got to give them a try!

Thanks Brandy!
Would these freeze well after being cooked?
I’ve actually never tried freezing them, but I think they should be just fine! Let me know if you try it and how it worked out for you. 🙂
I make these all the time and the family loves them. Sometimes I through in chopped black olives for a little different flavor.
When do you add the mushrooms?
In step 2. 🙂
Instead of crutins try crushed pretzels and I added some seasoning to them. We love pretzel and cream cheese so this was amazing! !
That sounds delightful!
Tried this recipe last night for dinner. It was a huge hit!!! Everyone loved it and requested to have it made again! (That is huge in our home) Did not try mushrooms yet (I am the only fan in the family) but we are thinking of adding chopped walnuts to the chicken mixture for a crunchy texture. Always love a food experiment. Thank you for a great recipe :0)
I am so glad your whole family liked this recipe! Any recipe that keeps dinner-time complaint free is a keeper! 🙂
What a yummy recipe! Perfect for summer time. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Crystal, I appreciate you stopping by!
I made your recipe last week… soooo good! This version will now replace my previous version – yours is so much better. Thanks for sharing it!
Oh Yum! I will HAVE to try these! But only for me since my girls seem to think anything with chicken (or an kind of meat) is "yucky". Maybe that's why they only get PB and J for dinner on nights that daddy works 🙂
These look so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Looks so yummy! Gonna have to give this one a try. Thanks for sharing!
Mmmmm, they are called chicken delights in my family, and the are indeed delightful! I should make them more often, it's actually a pretty easy recipe!
This sounds like a good one for the kids to help with- thanks!
My daughter makes these–only she calls them Chicken Crescents. She got the recipe from her MIL. Sounds like a good, easy summer supper.
