Chicken Parmesan Crescent Rolls
These quick and kid-friendly Chicken Parmesan Crescent Rolls are filled with shredded chicken, marinara, and gooey cheese, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count sheet of triangles)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or poached works well)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste Salt and pepper
- as needed Olive oil for brushing for shine
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles on a clean surface.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir until the cheeses are evenly distributed.
Assembly
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle, leaving a little border so it doesn’t leak.
- Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip so the filling is enclosed. Tuck the tip underneath or pinch to secure.
- Arrange the rolls on the prepared sheet with space between them for even browning.
- Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to encourage a golden crust. Sprinkle extra Parmesan if desired.
Baking
- Bake 12–15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed and golden brown and the filling is hot.
- Let cool 2–3 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra crispness, pat the shredded chicken dry before mixing with other ingredients. Can swap chicken for turkey or use vegetarian options like roasted mushrooms.
