These Easy Chicken Crescent Roll Ups are a meal my Mom made all the time when we were little! I loved this as I was growing up and I still love it today!
I believe our Mom originally got this recipe from our Aunt Lana. We would always beg for this meal when we were kids. This is VERY quick meal and is definitely a husband/kid pleaser!

- 1-2 cans of canned chicken or roughly the same amount of shredded chicken
- 1 8 oz. package cream cheese

- Blend together first four ingredients. Separate crescent rolls into triangles. Spoon chicken into the bottom of the triangle, fold in the bottom corners, and roll up. Lightly roll in melted butter then roll in crushed croutons. Place on un-greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20 min.

September 21, 2010 at 3:46 amI just recently found your blog, like two days ago recently, and I'm in Heaven. Your Cafe Rio pork was my very first attempt at the crock pot – not counting my failure the night before. 🙂 It was so yummy and easy that I had to come back to your blog for more. Tonight I made the chicken rolls ups and they were delish. I added sliced almonds and used chicken gravy on top just to mix it up a little.
I've just recently decided to start cooking and your blog has been so fun and incredibly helpful!
Thank you so much for doing something that you love and sharing it with the world, you're amazing!

October 17, 2011 at 2:57 amI tried this recipe tonight, with a slight modification. Rather than cream cheese, I used the new Philly Cooking Creme (Garlic flavor), and left out the milk. It was perfect. I also crushed some French Fried Onions with the croutons. Very tasty and easy. Served with cheesy rice and chicken gravy over top. I'll make this again. Thanks!

March 20, 2018 at 12:55 pmI’m so excited I found this recipe!! My mother gave it to me years ago – but she made these into “pouches” and served as appetizers. Unfortunately, she has passed on, and her recipes are no where to be found, so I’ll still have to figure how many I can get from one tube of crescent rolls & how much chicken to put in each – but I knew I’d recognize the filling when I saw it – so at least NOW I have the right ingredients! She would make squares out of the crescent rolls, putting maybe a Tablespoon of the mixture on each square, then pulling all 4 corners of the rolls, twist them to seal, like a purse or pouch. I think they’d cook a little quicker, so I’d probably check them at 10 mins and just keep an eye on them. I believe I used Garlic Salt (for the salt), and I added Onion Powder as well. Then after making the pouches & putting on a cookie sheet – I think I also sprinkled some Parmesan/Romano cheese mix (or the 3 cheese shaker-type – in the clear & green plastic jar) on them before baking. Hubby does nearly all cooking for the 2 of us – except appetizers or desserts for parties (& we do a lot of partying, since we live/retired in a resort-type village)! I recently made a mac & cheese balls appetizer that called for bacon being sprinkled on top – but I bought REALBacon Bits, pulverized them in a mini food processor and mixed most of that INTO the mac & cheese balls, plus a little on top with italian bread crumbs. This just came to my mind because I think I will do the same for these pockets! I’m making myself hungry-Grrrr.! Thanks so much for the lost recipe!
