Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cream of chicken soup, grated cheese, milk, and salt to create the sauce.
- Pour half of the sauce into a square baking dish.
- Separate the refrigerated dinner rolls and place small pieces of cooked, boned chicken inside each roll.
- Roll up the filled rolls, tucking in the edges.
- Place the rolled crescents into the baking dish with the sauce.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolls.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the rolls are slightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding some sautéed onions or garlic to the chicken mixture. You can easily substitute the Colby and Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar or mozzarella based on your preference. If you don't have cream of chicken soup, a homemade version using chicken broth and a roux works well. For a healthier twist, try using whole wheat dinner rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These Crescent Chicken Rolls are delicious served with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For a heartier option, pair them with mashed potatoes or rice. They also make a great appetizer for gatherings. Try serving them alongside Nancy'S Zucchini Casserole for a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Crescent Chicken Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method keeps the rolls crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover chicken for this recipe?
Absolutely! Using leftover chicken is a great way to save time and reduce waste. Just make sure the chicken is shredded or chopped into small pieces to fit inside the rolls easily. Leftover Turkey Soup is another excellent way to use up poultry.
What can I use instead of refrigerated dinner rolls?
If you prefer, you can use crescent dough sheets or puff pastry as a substitute for the refrigerated dinner rolls. Both options will yield a flaky texture, though the flavor will vary slightly. For a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free crescent roll dough.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. You can also check the internal temperature of the rolls; they should reach at least 165°F to ensure that the chicken is heated through.
