Crack Chicken Roll-Ups – heaven in a pan! The most requested chicken casserole in our house. Chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon, and ranch dressing wrapped in crescent rolls and topped with milk and cream of chicken soup. Use rotisserie chicken and precooked bacon for quick prep! These are on the menu at least once a month! Everyone gobbles these up – we never have any leftovers.

Pin This RecipeThe BEST Crescent Chicken Roll-Ups
Chicken Roll-Ups are one of my all-time favorite meals. My mom would make them when I was growing up and I’ve continued making them as an adult. I have several versions on the blog, but these Crack Chicken Roll-Ups might just be my favorite version! Chicken, cheddar, bacon, and ranch wrapped in crescent rolls and topped with cream of chicken soup. I could honestly eat the whole pan myself. SO good! We ate these for lunch, and I finished off the pan for dinner. I couldn’t help myself!
How to Make Crack Chicken Roll-Ups
These Crack Chicken Roll-Ups are super easy to make. Chop up some chicken and mix it with cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and Ranch dressing. Top crescent rolls with the chicken mixture and roll up and place in baking dish. Top the crescent rolls with a mixture of cream of chicken soup and milk and bake.
The number one question I get about any of my crescent roll-up recipes is “Do the crescents get soggy?”. No, the crescent rolls aren’t soggy, but they aren’t crispy like they are right out of the oven. They are soft on the bottom and the tops do get a little brown.
To cut down on prep time, I like to use rotisserie chicken and precooked bacon. I buy both in bulk at Costco. I will also mix up the chicken mixture the night before and assemble the roll-ups when we are ready to bake them.
Can Chicken Roll-Ups Be Made in Advance?
I haven’t made this casserole in advance and refrigerated it overnight. I am sure it would be fine one night in the refrigerator. You can also freeze the baked casserole for later. To bake from frozen, thaw completely and either reheat in the microwave or covered in the oven until warm. I think it would take about 30 minutes in the oven to reheat the roll-ups.

I have made these for family and they are delicious. Originally in the 90’s I made them without the bacon—it takes them over the top.
Made this for dinner tonight. So glad I did. Tastes so good and so easy to make. Found at the store cream of chickensoup with herbs. Wow a little something more to the taste. Will be making this often. Thanks for posting this recipe.
Can this be made with can buttermilk biscuits instead?
Does the filling need to be completely enclosed in the dough or is it okay to leave ends open?
The ends can be open on the side.
What side would you recommend with this?
I listed side dishes in the post – scroll up above the recipe.
Can you make these without the sauce on the top?
Sure
My husband doesn’t like ‘ranch dressing. what do you think I could use instead, maybe yogurt or salsa?
Do you think I could make this in a slow cooker? My oven is not working right now and I was still hoping I could make these… what do you think?
I haven’t tried this in the slow cooker. I have seen other recipes on the internet that cook casseroles with crescent rolls in the slow cooker, SO it would probably work. Let us know if you try it!
