Chicken Parmesan Crescent Rolls

These quick and easy Chicken Parmesan Crescent Rolls are made with frozen chicken strips and are perfect for lunch, dinner, or an after-school snack.  

A few months ago I was tasked with making dinner for my family but had no idea what to make. I had about 10 minutes until they would be home, so I started frantically searching recipes online.

After coming across a recipe for chicken parmesan crescent rolls, I was able to make a similar version with what I had on hand.

I loved it because I don't like cooking on weeknights and felt like I could whip up something quick without sacrificing flavor or nutrition for the picky kids.

Even though it's not a recipe you'll find in your grandmother's cookbook (sorry grandma!), it turned out to be one of our favorites!

There are tons of variations you can do with this recipe, including using different sauces, rotisserie chicken, and cheeses.

I chose to use marinara and mozzarella for this post, but you can always use pesto and provolone or an alfredo sauce and cheddar cheese as well!

This recipe is so simple that it's perfect for those busy weeknights when you don't have a lot of time to cook dinner.

What's your go-to dish? Mine is probably chicken parmesan crescent rolls. The recipe includes just seven ingredients, can be made in less than 30 minutes, and is pretty much foolproof.

How to Make Chicken Crescent Roll-Ups

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and bake the chicken strips for 10 minutes.

When the cooking time is up, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.

Cut each chicken strip in half and place one strip on the end of each triangle.

Top the chicken with a spoonful of marinara sauce.

Add two pieces of mozzarella cheese.

Wrap the end of the crescent roll dough around the chicken strip.

Remove the foil from the pan and place the crescent rolls on the baking sheet.

Bake the crescents for 10 to 12 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.

Before serving, brush each crescent roll with melted butter and top with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Serve with a side of marinara and enjoy!
