Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls Recipe Easy Appetizer

  • Author: Sarah
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 rolls 1x

Description

Warm, buttery crescent rolls stuffed with savory chicken, gooey cheese, and vibrant spinach make this recipe the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Perfect as an appetizer or quick snack, these rolls are easy to make and always a hit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups (240g) shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup (30g) chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 cup (120g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz (113g) softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Melted butter or egg wash for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, chopped fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. If you want slightly larger rolls, pinch two triangles together to form rectangles and roll them out lightly.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and tuck the corners under if needed.
  5. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops with melted butter or an egg wash to enhance browning.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan or garlic powder on top before baking. Avoid overstuffing the rolls to prevent bursting during baking. If the tops brown too quickly, tent with foil for the last few minutes.
