Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls
This Recipe is a family favorite.
In fact, the older my boys get, the more of these I have to make at each meal!
Now that they’re teenagers, they can eat more than I ever imagined.
We rarely have leftovers, because even with a filling recipe like this, it sometimes seems impossible to fill these teenagers up!
One of these, with a couple of vegetables on the side, is enough for Nick and me for dinner.
If we want one for lunch the next day, I put it in a container BEFORE I serve the kids.
I currently triple the recipe, so the boys can each eat 3 of these with vegetables, at dinner.
If you are doubling or tripling the recipe, you’ll want to heat the extra gravy on the stovetop or in an additional pan in the oven.
Too much gravy in the main pan will cause the crescent rolls to be soggy and they may not cook all the way through.
You can also easily interchange the cream of xx soup.
I’ve made it with Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Celery, and Cream of Broccoli.
Use whichever flavor your family prefers!
My kids also enjoy this with cream cheese mixed in, jalapenos, sauteed onions, mushrooms, etc.
Each time I make this, I vary things according to what I have on hand.
If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll buy the Crescent Rolls in bulk from Sam’s Club and prepare them all on a Cookie Sheet and warm the gravy in a saucepan. When it’s time to serve, I just slice the Crescent Rolls open and spoon some gravy down the middle.
Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls

Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 1 8 ct crescent rolls
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 c milk or buttermilk
- 1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Spray 9x13 pan with Pam.
• Lay out crescent rolls in 4 sections on waxed paper. (Keep the triangles together to form a rectangle). Use a small rolling pin if needed to close the seam.
• Put shredded chicken and cheese on rolls and roll them up (like a short burrito).
• Mix cream of chicken soup and milk heat on the stovetop in a small pan until fairly smooth. (add any leftover chicken or cheese to this).
• Pour between crescent rolls in pan. (Be careful to pour around, not on top or they will be mushy!).
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until crescent rolls are cooked through and brown on top.
Notes
Can easily be doubled or tripled. You can heat extra gravy in a saucepan on the stove or a separate pan in the oven. If you add too much gravy to the main pan, the rolls will be soggy and may not cook through.

This really looks good!! I could even fix this for my great grandchildren and they would love it. As long as they see the cheese they will dig into it!!!
Kasee Johnson says
I’m glad you specified to pour the sauce AROUND the roll-ups. I was worried about mooshiness. This recipe sounds delicious, but I would have to make my own “Crescent Roll” dough because my kids complain about the strange film left in their mouths from the store-bought versions. Still sounds worth it! I will be adding this to my menu for next week!
Dana Rodriguez says

My family loves how filling and comforting cream soup baked over chicken is. I hadn’t thought about topping it with crescent rolls, but it sounds wonderful. You could even add some peas and carrots to make it like a chicken pot pie casserole.

How do you cook the chicken in a slow cooker over night? I am new to crock pots and love using them! Due to medical issues, I cannot stand over the stove, so this really helps. If I can cook over night in the crock pot that would really help me out! How do I cook em overnight, and for how long is that? Thanks! =)
Trisha McKee says
I love to make Garlic Lemon Broccoli. Just cook some broccoli and then add lemon and garlic.

Honey BBQ Chicken with homemade honey bbq sauce!
Karen says
Sorry for the confusion, I double the recipe, which is why mine makes 8. I normally cook it in 2 pans when I double it so the gravy doesn’t make them mushy, but the night I took the photos, I needed my smaller pans for something else, so I had to use a larger pan:/
Joyce says
I tried making these but I found the directions hard to follow. For example your picture looked like you had about 8 pieces but mine only came out to four. I didn’t quite understand how you divided the cresent rolls.
Stephanie Hirsch says
I don’t have a favorite recipe, but I do LOVE making things all on my own. No recipe at all!
