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. 😉

Makes way too much filling!
Sorry about that! Thanks for letting us know.
So easy and delicious! I used 3 rolls crescent dough as there was so much of the filing. My family really likes these
I’m so happy you and your family liked it! Thanks for sharing what you do!
I just had to laugh. Someone said something about making it with the ranch dressing. I thought that is what it said to do! I guess I read it wrong. I have to tell you that it tastes great made with the ranch dressing mix! Next time I will try it with the Italian!! Haha
🙂 I’m glad you liked the Ranch Dressing version as well! I think that would also be tasty!
Wanda, that’s what I just did, tonight. You posted yesterday. I posted today.
What did you like better, the ranch or Italian dressing?
I personally like the Italian dressing a little better – but just a tad bit better. 🙂
Could I add the italian mix and cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in Crock pot with the chicken and then cook it on high for 4 hours?
You can add the Italian mix and cream of chicken soup to the Crockpot with the chicken and cook it on high for 4 hours but add the cream cheese in small chunks 15 minutes before the 4 hour mark and mix together with everything. Cream cheese will curdle if it cooks for too long at high temps so adding the cream cheese 15 minutes before you are done cooking will ensure a smooth sauce for your chicken bundles.
That’s how I’m doing it today!
I have made these before and you can also use Tuna with spinach or asparagus. I have also used puff pastry I make 2 inch strips fill 1 half then fold it over and seal edges.
Sounds yummy! Thanks so much for the tips!
Making them right after I go to the store
Yay!! Hope you liked them!
Would like to try this with puff pastry.
I haven’t tried, but it’s a great option! Thank you!
What about using a packet oF ranch dressing instead of italian?
I haven’t tried, but you sure could 🙂 Enjoy!
Kim, have you tried it with Ranch dressing yet?
have you tried this yet ?
I used Ranch dressing and it was delicious.
tHIS TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD! i ADDED CORN AND PEAS, TO KICK UP THE VEGGIE NUTRITION AND INSTEAD OF MAKING INTO CRESCENTS, I MADE A BIG SQUARE OUT OF 2 – THAT WORKED GREAT!! i’LL DEF MAKE THIS AGAIN!
Good idea! I will have to try that! Thank you for sharing that!
Does the bottom of Bundle bake as the top or foes it get a little mushy?
It doesn’t get golden like the tops, but it doesn’t get super mushy either. It might get a little mushy, but not all the time. Just depends if sauce gets on the bottom. They are super yummy. Hope you try them!
