Pioneer Woman Creamy Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls Ingredients
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 packet (24g) of chicken taco seasoning mix
- 1/3 cup of medium salsa, thick and chunky
- 4 oz of processed cheese, cubed
- 1 1/2 cups of cooked chicken, chopped
- 1 can (227g) of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon of butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
How To Make Pioneer Woman Creamy Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking the crescent rolls.
- Mix the Sour Cream and Seasoning: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the sour cream with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning; cover this mixture and place it in the fridge to chill.
- Prepare the Cheese and Salsa Mixture: Combine the salsa and cubed cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes, stirring after the first minute until the cheese is completely melted.
- Add Chicken to the Melted Cheese: To the melted cheese and salsa mixture, add 3 1/2 teaspoons of taco seasoning and the chopped chicken, stirring everything together until it is well combined; allow this mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto your workspace, separating it into 8 triangles, ready for filling.
- Assemble the Crescent Rolls: Place about 2 generous tablespoons of the cooled chicken mixture on the wider end of each triangle and roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the pointed tip, forming crescents.
- Apply Seasoned Butter: Mix the melted butter with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of taco seasoning in a small bowl, and brush this mixture over each crescent roll to enhance the flavor.
- Bake and Serve: Bake the crescent rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the preheated oven for 13 to 17 minutes, until golden brown, and serve them hot with the seasoned sour cream, garnished with chopped cilantro.
Recipe Tips
- Plan Ahead: Prepare the seasoned sour cream and chicken mixture a day in advance to enhance the flavors and simplify assembly on the day of serving.
- Dough Handling: Keep the crescent roll dough refrigerated until just before you’re ready to assemble to prevent the dough from becoming too soft and difficult to handle.
- Variations: Customize the filling by adding a teaspoon of chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a bit of heat and smokiness.
- Cheese Options: Experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella for varying flavors and textures in your creamy chicken filling.

How To Store Creamy Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls
To Refrigerate: Place any leftover Creamy Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Ensure they are cooled to room temperature before storing to prevent condensation.
To Freeze: These crescent rolls do not freeze well once baked due to the creamy cheese filling which may separate and become grainy when thawed.

In The Oven: Reheat leftover Creamy Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through and the exterior is crispy.
In The Microwave: Place the crescent rolls on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 30-40 seconds or until warmed through. This method may soften the crust slightly.
In The Air Fryer: Reheat the crescent rolls in an air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 3-5 minutes or until they’re crispy on the outside and warm inside, ensuring they regain their original texture.
