Crescent and Chicken Roll Ups

by
  • 1 (10 oz) can chicken, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2-3 tbsp miracle whip
  • 1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1⁄4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1⁄4 tsp celery seeds
  • 4-5 green onions, chopped
  • (4 cans) crescent roll dough

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained canned chicken, softened cream cheese, miracle whip, Dijon mustard, black pepper, cayenne pepper, celery seeds and chopped green onions. Use a hand mixer to blend everything together until fully combined.
  3. Open the cans of crescent roll dough and unroll them onto the prepared baking sheet, separating them into triangle shapes.
  4. Scoop approximately 1 tbsp of chicken filling onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. (Source: Ineskohl.info)
  5. Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, to enclose the filling. Curl in the pointed corners to form a croissant shape.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Tear open to reveal the gooey, chicken-stuffed interior.

Tips:

  • For best results, make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing the filling. This will make it easier to blend.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your tastes. Add more cayenne if you like it extra spicy or reduce it if you prefer milder heat.
  • Chop your green onions nice and fine so they mix in evenly to the filling.
  • Make sure you seal the edges of the crescent roll dough well around the filling so it doesn’t leak out as it bakes. Pinching along the seams helps secure it.
  • Serve warm right out of the oven for maximum deliciousness! The fillings get perfectly melty and gooey when warm.
  • Double or triple the recipe as needed if you’re making it for a big gathering. These always go quick!

These chicken stuffed croissants make a mouthwatering appetizer for any event or party. The spiced cream cheese provides a tangy complement to the savory chicken. Bring them along to your next potluck and wait for the requests for the recipe!
