Crescent Chicken Bundles

Such a breeze to make for a kid-friendly dinner.

Crescent Dough

I love, love, love using crescent dough for recipes. It is a super convenient ingredient that can be used as a base for everything from breakfast to dessert to appetizers. It has a wonderful buttery flavor that no one can resist.

What You’ll Need

• Cooked Chicken. Use rotisserie chicken, poached chicken, baked chicken, or some that you have cooked in a crockpot.
• A block of cream cheese. Soften it so that you will have an easy time mixing the filling together.
• Milk, half-and-half or cream
• Green onions. You can leave them out if you wish or substitute with a few teaspoons of dried parsley flakes.
• Salt and Pepper.
• Crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper if you want a little heat.
• Seasoned dry stuffing mix. It adds a little flavor and crunch to the exterior, but you can easily omit this ingredient if you don’t have any on hand.
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Melted butter
• Refrigerated crescent roll dough

How To Make

(More detailed instructions in recipe card below.)

1. Mix together the cream cheese, melted butter, milk, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
   
2. Mix in the chicken and green onions.
3. Separate the crescent dough into 8 rectangles. Place a mound of chicken filling on each one.
   
4. Pull the crescent dough up and over the filling and press to seal the edges.
5. Brush melted butter on the tops of the bundles.
6. Sprinkle the tops with stuffing mixture and Parmesan cheese.
   
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Crescent Chicken Bundles Recipe Tips

You can easily add a little steamed broccoli to the filling. Whenever I make these, I make one with just broccoli, no chicken, for my daughter. She is vegetarian. She loves it. I also add a little shredded cheddar cheese to hers.

You can easily cut the recipe in half to make 4.

How To Freeze

The unbaked bundles can be frozen for up to 2 months. Place them in the freezer on a baking sheet. When they are partially frozen, transfer them to a ziplock freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake according to recipe instructions, adding a little baking time if they are still partially frozen.
