Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups
The easiest, no-fuss chicken alfredo you will ever make, conveniently stuffed in the butteriest roll ever!
Have you ever tried those tubes of crescent rolls before? Because if you haven’t, you’re really missing out.
Crescent rolls are one of the most versatile ingredients ever, and they’re so easy to use too.
I’ve made pigs in a blanket, mummy hot dogs and even pizza roll ups using these, although the crescent rolls itself are pretty darn good.
But nothing really tops this creation here with the most epic filling of all: chicken alfredo.
It is the most amazing, creamiest filling you will ever have, loaded with Parmesan-garlicky goodness, all neatly wrapped up in a buttery crescent roll.
To top it off, these babies are covered in Italian breadcrumbs for that extra flavor, and you can even top it off with a super easy homemade cheese sauce.
But the cheese sauce is definitely an added bonus because these babies are still amazing by themselves!
Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 8-ounce tube crescent rolls
- ½ cup Italian style bread crumbs
For the optional cheese sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, or more, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool before shredding.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, Parmesan, chives, garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove rolls from the can, separating them into eight triangles. Top each triangle with a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture.
- Starting with the wide end, roll up each triangle, tucking the ends underneath, and dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to coat. Place seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- To make the cheese sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve crescent rolls immediately, drizzled with cheese sauce. campaignIcon Coupons

Easy awesome
Wow, these are simply delicious!
Thanks for this recipe. I have never seen crescent rolls dough, and used puff pastry triangles. I tend to make these like croissants almost but with slices of roast beef and mustard with a tsb of grated cheddar as that is one of my favs for snacking. Have never thought of using a more softer filling but they turned out delicious. Have also made them in smaller sizes and can fit a single in my mouth for deliciousness.
Your recipes are awesome. Thank you so much.
I’ve made these a bunch of times without the sauce on top and they’re delicious. I always make them fresh and then save the leftovers in the fridge. I warm them up in the toaster oven and they crisp right back up. They’re delicious!!
I’m not a big fan of cream cheese…would ricotta cheese be an acceptable substitute?
Yes, absolutely.
Made these for dinner last night and they were amazing. I used leftover rotisserie chicken which sped up the process and the meal was complete in 15 minutes and so tasty. For the cheese sauce I used leftover white cheddar and fontina cheese from my grilled cheese night and everything was amazing! I have yet to find a recipe that I don’t love on your website.
Want to make this sooooo much better, take a couple of minutes and make your own crescent roll dough. WIll never use the refrigerator one again.
Liked your recipe a lot. Looking forward for some more mouth watering recipes. Keep up the good work.
It says it serves eight…I want to make these for dinner but can’t decide if eight rolls are enough. It’s me, my husband and 6 year old. Thoughts?
Monica, that really depends on how much you all eat, and if any sides or appetizers will be served as well. I could personally get full off of 3 of these with a side salad though.
These are SOOOOOO good! I made then yesterday and my family ate them in a heartbeat
Made these tonight for a quick dinner after kids soccer practice…
They were a huge hit.. picky eaters even went and got seconds. This will definitely be made again.
I made these tonight and they were so good! Since I had a little left over, I tried some of the cooked chicken mixture on one of those flat pretzel chip things. Yum! Thanks for the recipe!
I was thinking about that too… I also used a little more chicken than called for.
I would never have thought of using crescent rolls like this! Love it and pinned!
Tried this for dinner last weekend and it came out great!! It’s become one of our favorite dishes now. Even my (extremely picky) husband loved it. The only changes I made were I didn’t have chives or the italian bread crumbs but it still tasted fantastic. I also doubled the cheese sauce but I may not have needed to, as we ended up with some left over. I love how filling this meal was and it’s super easy to make. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you for the recipe! I love your blog!
oh all these poor souls that have no access to that little doughboys crescent rolls!! We are so blessed and spoiled! Thanks for the recipe, will be making it for my daughter and I for Sunday movie night together.
Can you make these as pinwheels using the tube of crescent rolls rather than individually rolling them into one? Would love to make these for a party but much smaller servings! Thanks!
That sounds like a great idea but I think it may get too messy!
Actually if you put the cheese sauce on the side [as a dip at the party] and sprinkle the bread crumb topping on before baking it isn’t messy at all. I have been making this for years [sometimes adding steamed broccolli and a squirt of lemon] Although I stopped using canned crescents from any store – as the homemade are easy and so much better for you.
Trying these for dinner, cannot obtain the pastry in Australia so opting for Puff pastry instead. Looking forward to final result – cheers!
Do you have to use parchment paper
You can also use a silicone baking mat or a greased baking sheet – it’s up to you!
These were amazing, great recipe!!!
These look so irresistible! I’m sure I’d finish a fair amount of them off in no time!
