Helpful Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped green onions or shredded cheddar cheese with the chicken mixture. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise if you prefer a tangier flavor. If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
Tips from well-known chefs
Chef Gordon Ramsay recommends using high-quality crescent roll dough for the best results.
Chef Ina Garten suggests adding a touch of Dijon mustard to the chicken mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Chef Alton Brown advises toasting the bottom of the crescent rolls slightly before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
Ingredients
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken).
8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature.
10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup.
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes.
½ teaspoon black pepper.
½ teaspoon kosher salt.
½ teaspoon garlic powder.
½ teaspoon onion powder.
2 cans crescent roll dough.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a large sheet tray with cooking spray and set aside.
Place the shredded chicken, cream cheese, can of chicken soup, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder into a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Using an electric hand mixer is recommended for this step.
Open the cans of crescent roll dough and take two of the rolls, pinching the seams together to form a rectangle. Place them on the prepared sheet tray.
Add about a heaping 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough rectangle.
Pull up the four corners of the crescent rolls and pinch them together along the seams to form bundles. Ensure they are sealed tightly.
Brush the butter all over the tops of the rolls. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Add more dried parsley on top if desired, and serve immediately.
