Tips for Making the Best Chicken Crescent Roll Ups:
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of paprika or Italian seasoning to the chicken mixture.
If you want a bit of a kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper.
If you're short on time, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
For a more gourmet touch, use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls.
You can also add other toppings, like chopped tomatoes, olives, or spinach.
Serving Ideas:
Serve these delicious chicken crescent roll ups with your favorite dipping sauce, like barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or a spicy mayo.
They're also delicious served as a side dish with a salad.
You can even serve them as an appetizer, but be warned - they are addictive!
Storage:
These crescent roll ups are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze the unbaked crescent roll ups for up to 2 months. To freeze, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. To bake from frozen, add 5 minutes to the baking time.
Enjoy!
