Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Rolls

  • 2 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the rolls won’t stick.
  2. Cook Chicken and Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, add the shredded chicken and minced garlic. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Mix Filling: Transfer the warm chicken and garlic mixture to a bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
  4. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
  5. Fill and Roll: Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese filling at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll each triangle up tightly towards the pointed end, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  6. Arrange and Bake: Place all the rolled crescents seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving slight space between each to allow for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
  7. Prepare Dipping Sauce: While the rolls bake, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce and honey in a small bowl until well combined.
  8. Serve: Once baked, remove the Chicken Crescent Roll Ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the soy-honey dipping sauce for a delightful bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh cooked chicken for the best texture; rotisserie chicken works well for convenience.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to mix easily with the other ingredients.
  • You can add chopped green onions or a pinch of black pepper to the filling for extra flavor.
  • If desired, brush the tops of the crescent rolls with a bit of melted butter or an egg wash before baking for extra golden color.
  • The dipping sauce can be adjusted by adding a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
