Shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese, Italian dressing mix, and cream of chicken rolled into buttery crescent dough! These flavorful Chicken Crescent Roll Bundles have become a family fave.
This is one of the BEST and easiest dinner recipes using Pillsbury crescent rolls. The canned dough comes in handy when I’m in a pinch, and I can make easy meals like this one, pigs in a blanket, or spinach roll ups!
STUFFED CRESCENT ROLLS
A family friend first made these Crescent Roll Chicken Bundles when I had a baby. They were so delicious, I had to get the recipe.
Her family calls them chicken pockets, but I’ve seen similar recipes called various things—chicken bundles, chicken stuffed crescent rolls, chicken crescent roll ups… Whatever you decide to call them, they’re going to blow your mind!
You can imagine that crescent rolls stuffed with shredded chicken, cream cheese, cream of chicken, and Italian dressing mix would be pretty awesome – and they are!!
a 30 minute meal!
GRAVY. Start by making the gravy mixture. Add cream cheese and both cans of soup to a medium pot and turn to medium heat. Add dressing mix and stir until well combined. Turn down to low heat.
FILLING. Pour most of the mixture into a large bowl, leaving enough in the pan to use as a gravy to put on the chicken bundles. Add the shredded chicken and the green onions to the large bowl and mix together. Set aside.
STUFF. Separate the crescent roll dough and place on a cookie sheet. Scoop a spoonful of chicken mix onto the crescent roll dough and roll (we fold the left side in, right side in, and then roll towards the long point).
BAKE & SERVE. Bake in the oven for 9-12 minutes. Pour remaining sauce/gravy mixture on top and serve warm.
Tips, substitutes and add-ins
Substitutes. Cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup can be used as an alternative for the cream of chicken soup, it is up to you and your preference.
If you would like to substitute the cream cheese you can use plain Greek yogurt though it may alter the taste and texture.
Optional add-ins. Mix any of the following in with the chicken and green onions (up to 1 cup total of extra mix-ins).
- Chopped spinach
- Chopped broccoli
- Celery
- Green chilis
- Diced Jalapeños
To make things even easier you can use the canned chicken, but I prefer to use chicken that was cooked in the crock pot and then shredded or even a rotisserie chicken. 😉

A great recipe, very comforting food
I’m going to try looks good
Hope you enjoy!!
This recipe sounds delicious. It is on my to do list, thanks
These are easy to make and extremely delicious! Even my super picky youngest son, who has Autism, ate these up!!
These are delicious! However, they took about 20 minutes to fully bake the roll part. At 11 minutes they were still doughy.
Hi my family loved this. I had extra chicken stuffing left over – can you freeze this?
Yes, you can!
I absolutely love this recipe and so does the entire family. They are so savory and delicious!! I was going off my memory when buying the ingredients and accidentally bought ranch dressing mix instead of Italian. I’m curious if it would turn out ok, or if I should run back out to the store. I suppose I could also google search for any other substitute. Anyway, LOVE this meal. By far a favorite!!
I haven’t tried ranch, but it would probably work? It would have a different flavor, obviously. You’ll have to let us know what you ended up deciding to use. So glad you enjoy the chicken bundles!
I have actually only used dry ranch powder with this recipe and it’s AMAZING!!!! I use 1/2 TBS less though because ranch is strong. For the gravy I add milk to loosen it up a bit. Absolutely delicious and thank you for the recipe! 🙂
