Creamy Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole is a homey and comforting classic perfect for feeding the whole family!
Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole is a creamy, filling dish that is sure to be a favorite! Broccoli Salad, Kale Salad, and Arugula Salad all make great sides to pair with this tasty dish.
An Easy family favorite
One kind of dish we like to make that is usually simple and a hit with everyone is casserole. When you have a large family, like ours, it seems like you can’t go wrong with them and they tend to feed a lot.
They’re great for a last-minute meals, or even to prepare the night before to cook up on a busy day. We love finding new ways to make a boring dish fun and exciting.
I think this Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole is a new fun twist on a traditional chicken bake. It was really creamy and simple enough for the kids to enjoy too because all the ingredients are kid-approved (chicken, crescent rolls, cheese!)
It reminded me of the Chicken Crescent Roll Bundles we’ve loved for years, and if you love casseroles and the flavors of creamy chicken, (I mean, who doesn’t?!) then you’ll love this dish!
Making Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole
PREP. Preheat oven to 375ยฐF. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
MIX. In a large bowl, mix chicken, and 1 cup cheddar cheese.
ASSEMBLE. One at a time, place crescent roll dough on a flat surface and add a heaping scoop of chicken mix. Roll up, starting at the thicker end, and pinch any openings to seal. Repeat with each roll. Set aside leftover chicken.
BAKE. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 casserole dish and bake at 375ยฐF for 10 minutes.
SAUCE. While rolls are baking, heat soup, milk, sour cream and 1 cup cheese in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until cheese has melted. Keep warm on low.
BAKE. After 10 minutes of baking, remove rolls from oven, pour remaining chicken mixture around the rolls, top with sauce and bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove and serve warm. Enjoy.
Tips + Storing Info
Use cooked chicken breasts instead of rotisserie chicken if youโd like. If you need a good shredded chicken recipe check here. You could also make our easy oven baked chicken, cut it into cubes and use it in this recipe.
To change this recipe up a bit you could add the classic duo of garlic and onion, mushrooms, or even some chopped green onions.
STORE in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
REHEAT individual servings in the microwave and larger servings in the oven. After baking the bottom of the crescent rolls will be softer and the tops will get a little toasty from being exposed in the oven. But overall the rolls will be soft, which is why you donโt want to store them in the fridge for more than 2-3 days so they donโt get too soggy.
FREEZE any leftovers if youโd like. After baking, let the dish cool completely then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil before freezing. This casserole should keep well frozen for up to 3-4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then pop it in the oven at 375 for about 40ish minutes to make sure it’s warmed all the way through.

Turned out delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe
You are so welcome! I am glad you liked it! Thank you ๐
I was thinking of making this recipe (Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole) for turkey leftovers at Thanksgiving. I can’t figure out where the last cup of cheese is used. The recipe calls for 3 cups of cheese, but only 2 are used.
Sorry, it’s only the two. I will need to change that. Thanks for catching that! ENJOY!
I can’t wait to try this ! We live on a beef farm but my hubby luuuves chicken! lol Thanks for taking the the time to share :))
Awe, thank you!! We love chicken too! I hope he likes it!
This has been a favorite of my family for years! We do have a slight variation though and thought you might like to try it. We use one can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 large jar of undrained pimentos. yum!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing!
Very easy to make good love it ????
Thank you so much!!
This is delicious but the sauce wasn’t as smooth and creamy as it could have been. I wonder if the sour cream “broke” or I did something wrong. Did that happen to anyone else? I would definitely make again.
What are Cresent rolls? They may be known by another name in Australia.
Usually it comes in a can & you can find it in the refrigerated section at the store. Here is a link you could try..http://www.food.com/recipe/copycat-pillsbury-crescent-rolls-365725. Hope that helps!!
Hello. Can you make this with chicken breast? That’s what I want to use for dinner. Thanks
I haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. I’m sure they’d be great! Let us know ๐ Thanks!
Can this be frozen before baking?
I personally haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. Let me know what you think. Thank you!
Do the crescent rolls get soggy in this?
They are soft and a little crisp around edges and yes, the bottom gets a little squishy, but not soaking and not edible. Hope you’ll give it a try!
Did you mean inedible?
Haha..yes ๐ Thanks!
