Made with only six ingredients, these Easy Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls are perfect to make for those busy evenings.
This blog is about easy, delicious, and comforting meals…and this dish is definitely one that fits into all of those categories!
I snagged it off of Pinterest many moons ago. I think it was one of the very first recipes I pinned.
Truth be known, they are little balls of comfort food wrapped inside a delicious crescent roll! At least that’s how I like to think of them. They are so easy to put together that you will wonder how you ever got along without them in your life.
I’ve made them so many times that I don’t need to follow the recipe anymore when I start cooking. That’s how much we love them here!
Since I have kids, I am always on the hunt for quick meals to make at home that don’t require lots of prep or work….because keeping up with my children is hard enough!
For these Easy Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls, you place a few spoonfuls of shredded chicken inside each roll (with or without cheese), roll em up, top them with cheese and sauce, and bake. Yes…it’s that simple! Hardly any prep work is involved.
You can also change it up a bit and add different variations to the filling like:
- Chopped ham and use provolone or Swiss cheese
- Shredded beef and use mozzarella cheese
I like to make them with these green beans as a side dish. If you aren’t a fan of green beans, any fresh vegetable would pair well with it. You can also switch out the Cream of Chicken with Cream of Celery or Mushroom.

For the chicken, I use pre-made chicken that I make in bulk every month. Click HERE for a tutorial on how I do this.

Another 10 star recipe for this family! On our busy days, this recipe is a life saver!
This is amazing with leftover KFC chicken and cream of mushroom and chicken soup. 🙂
Very glad you enjoyed it 😉 We are going to have to try it with Cream of Mushroom next time 🙂
How do you pull the dough over the chicken and cheese to “make it look like a crescent”? I ended up just trying to make all the sides touch over the chicken and cheese. Also should the can of soup have been condensed? It came out liquidy. Thanks!
Hi Amy! Thank you for your comment. You simply roll each piece of dough (with the filling inside) like you would if you were making just a plain crescent roll from the tube of rolls. It’s ok if a little bit of the filling seeps out. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You mix the contents of what’s in the can of soup with the milk and pepper. There is no need to add water to the soup contents. It is supposed to be liquidy. Once the crescents start baking, they will absorb some, if not all, the liquid. Hope this helps some 😉
This was SO delicious and my kids loved it too!! I couldn’t find seasoned cream of chicken soup, so when I cooked my chicken I seasoned it, and it came out great! Adding to my recipe box for sure!
Oh I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! This meal is always on our monthly menu rotation. It’s so easy and so good! 😉
Was very very good! I’m going to try it with shredded beef and mozzarella or provolone next time with a onion gravy
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! I love your idea for the shredded beef and mozzarella! Please do come back and let us know how that goes 😉
I made these last weekend for my daughter’s color guard dinner. I tripled the recipe because there were a lot of hungry folks to feed and it worked great! I used chicken and cheese for one set, chopped ham and cheese for another set, and my own spinach-egg-cheese filling for another set. I also used a simple cream cheese sauce instead of the canned soup. And everyone loved them! Will definitely make these again for my own family. 🙂
Yay! I’m so glad you tried it Nicole! I love the different ingredients you placed in them. We are going to have to try that as well 🙂
Thanks Guys, Your Recipe Was Too Fantastic. Me and My Family Loved it. I Will Share your Rrecipe with my friends. Hope they will love it too.
I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it 😉
