Cream Cheese Chicken Croissants

I first made this recipe, Chicken Cream Cheese Croissants or Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls years and years ago when my now 22 year old son was little.  Now this recipe has been seen almost 2 million times and growing daily.

He devoured them and still will regularly ask to have them for dinner secretly hoping there will be leftovers so he can eat one for lunch the next day.  I keep these ingredients on hand as my “go to” recipe when ever I’m in a pinch. To say we LOVE them, is putting it mildly, they are truly a family favorite!

Cream Cheese Chicken stuffed in a flakey croissant has become a stable recipe in our home. It’s tried tested and true.
