How to Make Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Crescents

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth and well mixed.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate into 6 triangles.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken Alfredo mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then carefully roll up the crescent dough, tucking in the filling as you go.
  5. Place the stuffed crescents seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, and brush the tops lightly with melted butter for a golden finish.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the crescents are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fully cooked chicken, such as rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken, for convenience and flavor.
  • Don’t overfill the crescents to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Brush with melted butter before baking for an extra golden, buttery crust.
  • Let the stuffed crescents cool slightly before cutting or serving to avoid hot filling spills.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh basil to the filling for an extra flavor boost.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover chicken alfredo stuffed crescents in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They make a great next-day lunch or snack.

To reheat, warm them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them on medium power for 1-2 minutes, but the crust may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade crescent dough instead of store-bought?

Absolutely! Homemade crescent dough works well and can add extra flakiness. Just roll it into triangles similar in size to store-bought crescents for even baking.

Is it possible to make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the stuffed crescents and refrigerate them unbaked for up to 24 hours. Bake them fresh when ready for the best texture and flavor.

Can I freeze these stuffed crescents?

You can freeze them either baked or unbaked. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat baked crescents in the oven; bake unbaked ones from frozen, adding extra baking time.

What can I serve with chicken alfredo stuffed crescents?

These crescents pair beautifully with a crisp green salad, steamed vegetables, or a light tomato soup for a balanced meal.
