Chicken bundle Recipe

Ingredients:

4 -12.5 oz cans white chicken breast drained and shredded
1 onion chopped
2 tablespoons butter
8 oz cream cheese
2 cans crescent rolls
1-4 oz jar pimentos

Equipment Needed:

Medium Skillet
Mixing Bowl
Rolling Pin
Pastry Mat
Baking Sheet

🥣 Recipe Tips

Soften the cream cheese first — Take the cream cheese out of the fridge about 30–45 minutes before starting (or microwave it for 10–15 seconds). Room-temperature cream cheese blends much more smoothly with the chicken, onion, and pimentos, giving you a creamy, even filling without lumps.
Don’t overfill the crescents — While a generous two tablespoons sounds perfect, resist the urge to add more. Overfilling can cause the dough to tear or the filling to leak out during baking. If you have leftover filling, save it for a quick lunch the next day or make a smaller batch of mini bundles by cutting each crescent triangle in half.
Make them ahead for easy entertaining — Assemble the rolls up to a day in advance, place them on the baking sheet, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, just uncover and bake as directed (they may need an extra 1–2 minutes). This makes them ideal for game day, parties, or busy weeknights.

These tips will help your bundles turn out perfectly every time—golden, flaky outside with a warm, gooey filling inside!

How to make these Chicken Crescent Roll Appetizers:

Instructions:

Sauté the onion in butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until translucent and tender.
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, and pimentos. Add the cooked onion and mix gently until well combined.
Open the crescent rolls and unroll them. Separate each triangle and, using a rolling pin, lightly roll them out just a bit on a pastry mat or floured surface.
Place a generous two tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the widest part of each crescent triangle. Fold up the sides over the filling, then gently roll toward the pointed end, completely enclosing the filling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the rolls on a nonstick baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
