Cheesy Chicken in a Croissant

I pinned a great recipe from Pinterest and finally had the opportunity to try it out!  The recipe:  http://jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/chicken-roll-ups.html   is very simple and does not take much time at all, which is a very attractive point to this.  My kiddos enjoyed a similar recipe I have made in the past with a sweet ground beef in a roll, so I thought that this would be a slam dunk also.  Everyone really enjoyed it, the only mistake was on me.  I put too much chicken in each croissant for their personal preferences.  However, it tasted really good and did not take too much time! 


  • 1 pkg cream cheese (8oz)
  • 1 pkg crescent rolls (6 ct) (note, you can also use TWO packages of regular sized crescents)
  • 2 shredded, cooked chicken breasts
  • 1.5 C grated chedder cheese
  • 1 C grated Monterey Jack
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • bread crumbs
  • 1/4 stick melted butter

Combine chicken, cheeses, salt and pepper. Spoon onto crescents. Roll them up making sure they are sealed around the chicken mixture. Brush tops with butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. To reheat, just place in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes.
