Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie, leftover roasted, or canned)
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1/4 cup milk (any fat content; whole milk preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
Dough
- 1 package (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, undiluted cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
- Prepare the dough: Gently unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into 8 individual triangles, taking care not to tear the delicate dough.
- Fill and roll: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, ensuring to pinch the seams firmly to seal the rolls completely.
- Arrange for baking: Place each filled crescent roll seam-side down in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure there is space between rolls for even cooking and browning.
- Bake to perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when gently tapped.
- Cool before serving: Allow the crescent rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving, so the filling can set and not be too hot to enjoy.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded mozzarella for best melting and texture—avoid pre-shredded cheese which often contains anti-caking agents.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken works great as a shortcut.
- You can customize the seasonings to your taste by adding herbs like thyme or parsley.
- Serve this recipe warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
