📝 Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Creamy Topping

1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup milk

Garnish

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

👩‍🍳 Full Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Mix until the ingredients are evenly blended and creamy.

Step 3: Fill the Crescent Rolls

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.

Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.

Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling completely.

Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 4: Prepare the Optional Sauce

For an extra creamy version, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.

Pour the sauce evenly over the roll-ups before baking, leaving some of the tops exposed so they become golden and flaky.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown and the filling is hot.

If using the creamy sauce, bake until it is bubbling around the edges.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the roll-ups from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
