  • Cooked Chicken. Use rotisserie chicken, poached chicken, baked chicken, or some that you have cooked in a crockpot.
  • A block of cream cheese. Soften it so that you will have an easy time mixing the filling together.
  • Milk, half-and-half or cream
  • Green onions. You can leave them out if you wish or substitute with a few teaspoons of dried parsley flakes.
  • Salt and Pepper.
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper if you want a little heat.
  • Seasoned dry stuffing mix. It adds a little flavor and crunch to the exterior, but you can easily omit this ingredient if you don’t have any on hand.
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Melted butter
  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough

  8. Crescent Chicken Bundles Recipe Tips

    You can easily add a little steamed broccoli to the filling. Whenever I make these, I make one with just broccoli, no chicken, for my daughter. She is vegetarian. She loves it. I also add a little shredded cheddar cheese to hers.

    You can easily cut the recipe in half to make 4.

    How To Freeze

    The unbaked bundles can be frozen for up to 2 months. Place them in the freezer on a baking sheet. When they are partially frozen, transfer them to a ziplock freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake according to recipe instructions, adding a little baking time if they are still partially frozen.
