Creamy, cheesy chicken wrapped in flaky crescent rolls, baked to golden perfection—perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the crescent rolls and place a small amount of diced cooked chicken in the center of each roll.
- Roll up the crescent rolls and tuck the sides in to enclose the filling.
- Place the prepared chicken wraps in a baking dish.
- In a saucepan, heat the cream of chicken soup, milk, chopped onion, and butter until warmed through.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken wraps in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes or until the wraps are golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding some spices like garlic powder or paprika to the chicken for extra flavor. You can also substitute the cream of chicken soup with a homemade version or use a different cream soup, such as cream of mushroom. If you're short on time, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Chicken Crescent Wraps warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color. They pair wonderfully with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables, and for a heartier meal, consider serving with mashed potatoes or rice. This dish is a fantastic option for a family dinner or as a part of a potluck spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wraps in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. This method will help maintain the crispiness of the crescent rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Chicken Crescent Wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the wraps in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil. When ready to bake, remove the wrap and add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they are heated through.
What can I use instead of cheddar cheese?
If you're not a fan of cheddar, you can substitute it with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack for a spicy kick. Each cheese will give a different flavor profile to the dish, so feel free to experiment based on your preference.

Yes, these wraps freeze well. After baking, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
