What’s your favorite salad dressing? For me, growing up, it was always French dressing… although as an adult it would probably be Caesar dressing. However, I live in a family of ranch dressing lovers, so I’m growing to love a good ranch dressing too! Our favorite, hands down, is Hidden Valley Ranch 🙂
I chose the avocado flavor, because, well, you know how obsessed I am with avocados lol. Instead of just pouring the dressing on a salad, I decided to make something very kid friendly.
Just 5 ingredients and 20 minutes is all you need to make these delicious chicken and bacon ranch stuffed crescent rolls! That’s right, 5 ingredients! Perfect for those nights you don’t really feel like cooking, or need to get a meal on the table, fast.
Start by separating out your crescent rolls and slathering on a layer of the Hidden Valley Avocado Ranch dressing.
On the wide end of the triangle, place a little bit of cooked, shredded chicken (I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken, but you can use leftover chicken, pre-cooked chicken strips, or any cooked chicken you’d like), 1/2 strip of bacon (I used pre-cooked to cut down on cooking time), and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Tuck in the sides and roll up towards the point into a crescent shape and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter if you want.
Let them cool for a few minutes before biting into them, they’re definitely hot!
Prepare for these babies to go quickly… my kids scarfed them down 🙂
Look at how buttery and flaky that looks!! I promise you, this may be a simple, kid-friendly meal, but the whole family will love it 🙂

Thank you Julie!! I definitely should have made more, they were gone so quickly 😀
Chicken and bacon ranch stuffed crescents look lovely. This is a neat idea! It is a versatile recipe as I can imagine all kind of stuffing going inside the crescents!
Thank you Sridevi! I love how versatile it is too… it’s really more of a method than a recipe 🙂
These look way too good to have all that yummy stuff inside, what a treat, a croissant with a difference. I would find it hard enough to make a croissant in the first place let alone putting something inside it, well done. Thank you for coming to FF #68 I hope you will have a glass of bubbly with us x Justine

Thank you Jhuls!! I do love a good salad, but my kids won’t touch lettuce (groan), so I was glad to find a way to incorporate it for the whole family to enjoy 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Looks like the perfect party food! I’ve got several weekend get togethers coming up…I might be adding this to the menu! Pinning!

Thanks so much for a new version of these – the kids really like them. Check out my 4 versions under Pepperoni, Sausage, Ground Beef and Reuben Crescent Rolls. Great snack! Looking forward to co-hosting with you this week. I have been a co-host a number of times and if you have any questions just give me a holler 🙂

Thank you Judi!! Oh wow, your versions look amazing 🙂 You’re right, the kids just can’t get enough of anything wrapped up in a crescent roll! I’m looking forward to co-hosting with you as well, should be a great party!! 😀 😀
These look amazing! I used to make an appetizer that involved rolling all the crescent dough flat, putting this filling in, rolling it into a tube and slicing it into bite sized pieces for baking. It’s always a hit! Thanks for linking up on Tuesday!
