Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (for filling)
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
Dough and Topping
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
- ½ cup traditional bread crumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ to prepare for baking the crescent roll ups.
- Make Filling: In a bowl, blend the cream cheese and 4 tablespoons melted butter until smooth. Add shredded chicken, salt, pepper, milk, and chopped green onions, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
- Prepare Dough: Separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles as indicated on the cans.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Spoon approximately ¼ cup of the chicken mixture near the base of each crescent triangle. Roll up the dough from the base in the traditional crescent shape, pinching the seams to seal any open edges tightly.
- Make Topping Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs to create the topping mixture.
- Apply Butter and Topping: Brush each rolled crescent lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the parmesan and breadcrumb topping.
- Bake: Place the prepared crescent roll ups in a lightly greased 13×9 casserole dish or on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot, optionally with a favorite cream sauce or chicken gravy for dipping.
Notes
- Cream cheese, shredded chicken, and green onions wrapped in flaky crescent dough make these roll ups versatile for dinner, appetizers, or party food.
- For a crispier topping, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- Can substitute green onions with chives or scallions for similar flavor.
