This delicious recipe comes from my Grandma (or “Nana B” as we call her)…I have wonderful memories coming home from college to this delicious home cooked meal. It has become one of my husband’s favorites too. I like serving it along side of mashed potatoes …. the cream of chicken soup serves as a delicious gravy. Enjoy this simple yet delicious meal!

| Crescent rolls, chopped and cooked chicken (I simply boil chicken breasts and cut), cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup (milk). |
 |
| Make soup in a medium saucepan using milk according to directions. |
 |
| Lay out one crescent roll at a time and place appx 3-4 bite sized pieces of chicken and appx 1Tbsp of cheese in the center of each triangle. |
 |
| Gently roll up |
 |
| Seal edges by pinching the dough. (You will not get perfection, just make sure the filling cannot leak out) |
 |
| Place all of your rolls in a 9×13 dish and pour soup mixture over top ( salt and pepper as desired). |
 |
| Bake at 350 for 30 mins until crescents are golden brown |
 |
| Serve with mashed potatoes and your choice of veggies! |
|
| A combination of buttery crescent roll, melted cheddar and juicy chicken…Mmmm… |

Looks great! Yummmy comfort food. Reminds me of chicken 'n dumplins!
Wow!! That looks delicious!!
ok, I think I did something wrong … the bottoms of my crescent rolls tasted raw
Mine too! My crescent rolls were raw! Not sure how this could be fixed … higher temp and cook longer? Would love to hear what others have done!
Kelly, try covering with foil first, then uncover the last 10 mins.
I must of did the same thing you did since my bottoms were doughy too on the bottom. but my family loved the recipe. making it again mow and cooking them first some and them putting the soup over the top so the botom will get cooked more
I also cook a little more chicken and put that in the soup with some frozen mix veggies so it was more like a pot pie. It was great
AZ did you preheat your oven? The soup will make for a softer bottom, however it shouldn't taste raw.. Let me know!
I am working on my menu for next week, today and try to make one new recipe a week – I come to your site first to look at what you've posted and this is perfect
Looks yummy!
That sounds delish! I will definitely add this to my menu for next week.
Thanks Jackie/Teacher! This is one of my favs!
Thanks for the recipe! It was soooo good! It is a new favorite!
So glad you liked it June!
I SO can not wait to try this. I tell you your recipes are SO easy and yummy at the same time!! Thanks for sharing girl!! love ya
Janelle, My family is loving all the new things I am trying from your blog so thank you so much and so far ALL of them are keepers all 9 of us LOVE every recipe yummo I am gonna make this one next week thank you for sharing!! <3
Thank you Sonya and Cindy!!!
Oh my gosh! That looks sooo yummy! I'm going to have to make that soon. Crescent rolls are on sale right now at our local grocery store I think.
I've made a few of your recipes and they are always a hit and requested more than once
This looks so yummy and hearty. Definitely a "stick to your ribs" kind of meal. I'll have to make sure my portion is super small, though. this is like, CARB CENTRAL. LOL. (as are all good things!)
That looks soooo good!!! I am making this recipe next week(:
Enjoy Mrs. Gertha!
Making this as we "speak."
Have you ever made taco ring with crescent rolls? Its awesome! Def a crowd pleaser at our house…
Carr..would love your recipe for a Taco Ring! Sounds great!
Taco ring is super easy…you take a package of crescent rolls and separate them into a wreath pattern on a baking sheet, with the bottoms overlapping (the edges will hang over the baking sheet initially). Then you spoon taco meat on the rolls with a sprinkle of cheese and fold the top of the crescent triangle into the center…which by the end, will form a ring that looks just like a wreath…but stuffed full of taco goodness. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes and top with your favorite taco toppings!
Btw…the crescent chicken was a HUGE hit this evening. I had to bake it at 375 because I think my oven temp is off, but it was delicious! Thanks for the new idea!!
~meg
Was just reading your taco ring and I wish there was a pic of this. Not sure how you put the cresent rolls to make a ring. I does sound really good though.
There is a picture of the Taco ring on pinterest
Meg, that sounds delicious!!! Sounds like a blog to me, lol!!! Thanks for trying the chicken..so glad you liked it!
Janelle, I'm making this for Valentine's dinner for the fam. I'm using boneless skinless breasts-about how many will I need to use? Also, how long do YOU boil boneless skinless breasts? My oven tends to cook a little "cool" do you think I should try 375 like someone else mentioned (don't want the bottoms to not be cooked through especially since I got the "jumbo" rolls like you suggested). I'm a rather "insecure" cook so thanks for your help! You're the best. Happy Heart Day! P.S. I love the valentine poem you included
Anon- What a wonderful meal to cook for tonight! If you have a "cool oven" then yes, I would set it at 375 and check it before hand…if the tops brown fast, than you can always cover and put it back to 350. For my family of 5 I use 4 breasts. Happy Valentine's Day!
I prepared this last night for a special Valentine's Dinner along with the Molton Chocolate Lava Cake. My family was so impressed saying that it was the best dinner they had ever had. Thanks for the wonderful recipes.
My family LOVED this!!! They wanted me to make it the next night too
It was sooo easy to make & what a joy to hear all the compliments at the table 
Thank you!!! Kim B.
Yea! Thanks Kim!
Just made these for dinner! I loved them and so did the family! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! So glad you liked it! Love, Janelle
I made this recipe tonight! It was amazing!!! All the recipes that I have tried from your blog have become family faves!!! Thanks
Thank you Frances!
I realize this is an older post – but the recipe was very much appreciated in our family! Even the picky eaters liked it!
Thank you Kim!
did you seperate the crescent or use both triangles together? THanks
Tara, I separated the crescents, but used the Grands. Hope this helps
Yes, thank you!
Janelle,
I would like to say Thank You for your chicken crescent recipe. I tried it for the first time and took the dish to our Women Fellowship potluck luncheon at church. Everyone loved it! Several of the women asked for the recipe. I really liked how simple and easy it was to make. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
God Bless,
Brenda
Brenda, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that! What a blessing! You are VERY welcome
Love to you, Janelle
This looks so good! I live in Mexico City and the very few places that carry crescents or any type of "bread in a tube", they cost about $8! Do you have a recipe for crescents or is there something comparable that I could try? Thanks!
I'm making this tonight for dinner, thanks for the recipe! I just went to the market yesterday and I got ingredients for a few of your recipes and I'm excited to try them! As a fellow Christian and stay at home mom, what a blessing it's been to have found your blog! God bless you
Oh wow, my mouth is absolutely watering, just reading this recipe & looking at the pics! As soon as I get back to the grocery store, I am picking up some crescent rolls & trying this out…thanks for sharing!
Can this be frozen? do you bake it and then freeze it? or freeze before baking?
Hi Deb!
I would make the crescents with the chicken and cheese and freeze. When you are ready to bake, then pour soup mixture over top and bake. I would cover and bake for half the time, then take foil off and bake uncovered the rest of the time. Enjoy!
When making this to deliver to a family, how soon after baking does it need to be delivered for it to not get soggy? Just wondering if it be best to take it frozen with baking directions and let them decide when to finish baking it? Loving your blog! Just found it tonight.
I am helping start a Meals Ministry at my church and am getting some awesome recipes and ideas here!
Hi Kelly! That is so great you are starting a meal ministry! Wohoo!! When I make this for a family, I typically bake-then deliver. You could also make it up…put the soup mixture on the side and give baking directions.
A hubby favorite!!
Found you on Pinterest tonight and I’m already scheduling this recipe for this coming week! Your chicken n’ dumplins one, too!
Thanks!
Thanks goodgirl! Enjoy!
Delicious & easy! Got rave reviews from hubby, thanks Janelle!!
Awesome Alison!
I made these Saturday at MIL’s and the dough wasn’t cooked all of the way through (I added more pouches to the dish) and I’ve made these before perfectly. I thought this through and since I don’t want to repeat the issue, if you have to add more to feed more people, cook the pockets for a bit, maybe 10 minutes, then add in the soup mixture.
Thanks Christina! I have made 2 9×13 pans as well …
I found your recipe for the crescent chicken rolls on pinterest. I love your recipes and your blog so glad I found you. I bought the little crescents will it still work do I add less chicken? Plan on making this tonite. Thank you
Thank you Terri! Those would still work, but you wont get as much chicken and cheese in them. Let me know how it turns out!!! Thank you for your kind words sweet friend!
I made your delicious pocket chicken (what I call it ha ha) and I used the smaller crescents and put just enough chicken and cheese to close them. I cooked them for 45 minutes to make sure the bottoms were cooked. I sprinkled the remaining chicken I had in between the crescents and poured the soup over it all. It was delicious loved it. My family was impressed. Thank you so much I want more easy stuff to make like this Janelle.
The last time we ate this, my husband suggested that it would also be good with sausage instead of chicken. Instant breakfast idea! That’s our plan for Christmas morning!:)
Oh, my goodness. I have to try this. Looks delicious. Thanks.
I made these for my family tonight, except we used Cream of Mushroom. It was super yummy!
I Made these tonight..I used sliced swiss cheese folded in 4′s and used a 1/4 of the cheese slice on each….while sauteing my chicken I added shredded carrots in the mix….Amazing Comfort Food!Thank you so much for the recipe!
Sounds delicious!!!
Yes, this sounds & looks AMAZING! Too bad supper is already in the oven… but I am going to try this one for sure!
Thanks Mandy!
Made this tonight, good comfort food…I will make this again!!
I just tried this. I changed a few things. I used shredded chicken instead and about 5 mins before they were done, I covered it in cheese. It was AWESOME! Thanks so much for the recipe.
Wohoo!!!
These were great! Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks Claudia!
when I saw this on pinterest I knew I had to make it.so I did today.the only thing I did different was doubled the crescent rolls,the soup,and the milk.then the cheese I had left i sprinkled over the top.I must say I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!! we cleaned our plates!!! it is so good.and it will fill you up!! and the sides you can have with it are endless.it kind of puts me in mind of chicken and dumplings.I made sweet potatoes and fried okra with mine!! thank you so much!!
Thank you Melissa!!! So sweet of you and I am so happy you liked it!
this looks amazing!!!! My only question is by adding the soup, does it make the cresents soggy???
Hi Maggie! The tops are crisp and the bottoms are moist- they are not gooey- they are cooked through. Kind of like putting syrup on pancakes…this is my most popular recipe!
I made this recipe tonight. It was good but I think I did something wrong. My bottoms and tops were raw. My oven was preheated. I’ve only used this oven twice so maybe that’s it?? I put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes….then again for another 10. I’m going to try it again!
Saw thison pinterest, can’t wait to see what the rest of your site has in store!
Just made this last night for my family. My kids LOVED it, my husband liked it. Looks like it’s in the menu rotation now. THANKS!!!
Awesome Ruth!!!! Thank you!
I made these for my family and they were a HUGE hit! Everyone loved them. I took the suggestion of baking them for about 10-15 min prior to adding the soup to make sure the crescents were done and they came out just right.
I also adjusted the recipe for a breakfast recipe. I used scrambled eggs, sausage and cheddar cheese for the filling and gravy instead of soup. I took it to our Sunday School breakfast fellowship and I didn’t come home with any left. They were delicious as well!
Wohoo!!! Thanks Starla!
I am so going to figure out a way to make this gluten free not sure how yet! using gluten free pie crusts I think! looks fantastic- going to try it with turkey tonight! and gravy and mashed potatoes. yum.
That is such a great idea Susan!!! Do 1 part heavy cream and 1 part chicken stock for a cream of chicken soup w/o gluten! Let me know how it turns out…that is, if I don’t make it first! Tag- you’re it! LOL!
Made this tonight for my family. My daughter isn’t to big on meat, but she loved it. I made it over rice with greenbeans. Thanks for sharing, it was yummy!!!!!!
ok my sister emailed this recipe to me,, with the picture so OK THANKS now i have to make it!!!!!!! LOL
Lol!
I made these tonight (just added mushrooms) and they were amazing!!!!! I love looking at your recipes and can’t wait to try some more things. I’m trying to branch out so my kids won’t be a picky eater like I am. 30 years and I’m finally starting to grow up!
Awesome Jen! I still won’t try certain foods either, lol.
I made this tonight and my boys loved it… unfortunately I did not have jumbo crescent rolls.. so I only had enough for 4 chicken rolls.. I know next time to get the right ones.
Thanks April! So glad the boys loved it!
Seasoned the chicken with some salt, pepper, poultry seasoning , and garlic pepper. Added some fresh garlic and basil to the soup. Covered with alumininum foil then removed 10 minuets before. (other reviewers were complaining of raw crescents) and added a mixed vegtable medley to the soup. It was Devine! Ultimate comfort food!
