How to Make Aunt Jo S Crescent Chicken Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken to the cream cheese mixture. Stir to combine.

  5. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Do not boil.
  6. Pour 1/3 of the cheese sauce into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Spoon the chicken mixture onto a crescent roll sheet (one can, 8 count). Shape into 8 rolls. Arrange the rolls on top of the cheese sauce in the baking dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
