  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 package Italian dressing mix or 3 tablespoons
  • 2-3 green onions chopped, optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and Italian dressing mix. Stir continuously until smooth and well blended. Lower heat to keep warm.
  3. Step 3: Pour most of the creamy mixture into a large bowl, leaving a small amount in the pot to use as gravy when serving.
  4. Step 4: Add shredded cooked chicken and chopped green onions (if using) to the bowl with the creamy mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Step 5: Separate crescent roll dough into triangles and lay them out on a baking sheet with space between each piece.
  6. Step 6: Place a spoonful of chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle. Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top. Fold the left and right edges inward and roll toward the pointed end to seal.
  7. Step 7: Bake rolls for 9 to 12 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with reserved creamy gravy drizzled on top.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes to keep rolls crispy. You can freeze unbaked rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to freezer bags. Bake from frozen by adding a few extra minutes.
Feel free to swap Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar or mozzarella, use different proteins like turkey or ham, or add veggies like spinach or bell peppers. Add a pinch of cayenne or jalapeños for some heat.
