Chicken, cream cheese and mushrooms and rolled and baked inside crescent rolls in these family favorite Chicken Stuffed Crescents.

I was having a conversation with Josh the other day, and for some reason, these chicken stuffed crescents came up. He insists that I have never made them for him. I could hardly believe it – this is one of my favorite recipes. So onto the menu it went! (Especially when I picked up some Pillsbury crescent rolls on sale!) I got this recipe from my sister years ago. I’m not sure where she got it from, but it has been one of my favorites since the first time I tried them. This was actually one of the only recipes I made for myself during college.

I was going to half the recipe since there are only the two of us, but then I remembered what great leftovers these make. They will be perfect to pack in Josh’s lunch for tomorrow, and I won’t complain about snacking on a few of them myself!! These are great all by themselves, but some sort of chicken gravy would also be nice.

These are super easy to make, and don’t take very long at all. You use prepared stuffing for the filling, so this is a great way to use up some leftovers. If you don’t have leftovers, you can use a simple stuffing – like the boxed kinds at the grocery store. That’s actually what I usually end up doing and have been doing since college.

You can also leave out the walnuts, but I love the extra crunch and texture that they give.

This is a great way to use cooked, shredded chicken. It’s my very favorite dinnertime time saver!

Serve these with a salad or vegetables, and you have a perfect weeknight meal in no time at all.
