These were really easy and very good. They taste very good cold. The only change I would make is not put so much filling in.

I modified these quite a bit – no butter, less cream cheese, added cream of chicken soup, fresh chopped onion, garlic, and broccoli…but I loved the idea and ran with it! My family raved about it. Thanks! Thinking about posting my version.

My family loves these. And I love that they are super easy to make with leftover chicken. Thanks so much for posting this recipe as I had been looking for this one.

I made some modifications to the original recipe. It was good, not my absolute favorite… my husband really liked it, but my stepkids weren’t huge fans (and they’re not picky eaters at all).
I used reduced fat crescents, reduced fat cream cheese, parmesan (1/4 cup), 1 TBSP mayo, diced onion & garlic, and seasoned with parsley, garlic salt, pepper, onion powder, and thyme. You need a lot of seasoning to give the cream cheese any “zip”. I brushed the tops with butter and sprinkled with more grated parmesan and some paprika.
They sure looked pretty and were easy to make (although next time I would just use leftover chicken on hand instead of cooking it specially for this meal).
Worth a try and might become an “occasional” add to our dinner rotation. We really want to try other fillings in crescent roll dough and see what we can come up with!

I also made some modifications – I used neufchatel cheese – it tastes the same as cream cheese and has only 1/3 the fat, some chives, fresh onion (instead of the powder) and a little diced tomato. I also seasoned the chicken really well with Trader Joes every day seasoning and salt and pepper. It turned out great! I think adding the fresh ingredients and seasoning the chicken really well did the trick for me.

My family loves these and I love making them because they’re so easy. They make a great meal for a cold day.

I just made these this week and even my girl that doesn’t like cheese or creamy things ate it. We loved it! I can’t wait to eat the leftovers. I think next time I’ll buy 2 cans of crescent rolls because I had more filling than I could use. I probably cooked more chicken than necessary.

We always double this recipe, my kids love it! It’s super easy, quick and delicious.

Really good. Will definately make again. My husband suggested adding red pepper to it, but we both loved it as is too.

Almost anything wrapped in Crescent rolls is good!

I’ve made something very similar for years, but we have to quadruple it just to have enough for dinner We love adding garlic to it as well, it really adds a nice flavor.

These are delicious! We make a slightly different version at my house:
The tops are brushed with butter and seasoned bread crumbs.
We mix in vegetables in with the cream cheese: grated carrots, red and green peppers, apple bits, and whatever other vegetables we have leftovers of (cucumbers, celery, whatever). We also toss in regular cheese.
We also omit the butter and onion powder, although sometimes toss in other seasonings: it’s pretty much up to personal taste at that point.

I made these tonight and we decided we really liked them! This basic recipe is brilliant…and leave so much room for improvisation! I think in our family, some chopped jalepeno and cajon seasoning added would be the perfect mix…
This is such a fantastic, simple, comforting flavor… I am really, really glad you shared your recipe!! I think it will become a staple in our family!
God bless!

I made 4 with andouille sausage and 4 with chicken – they were delicious!
My only concern: They were a bit too rich, even for my teenaged boys. I wonder what they’d be like with less cream cheese, or with yogurt instead of cream cheese? Or maybe I need a higher meat to creamy goodness ratio?
Anyone have any thoughts about how to make these nummy treats just a bit less rich?
