How to Store Leftovers

If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until warmed through.

• Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for a unique twist.

FAQ

Q: Can I use canned chicken instead of cooked chicken? A: While canned chicken can be used in a pinch, I highly recommend using cooked chicken for the best flavor and texture.

Q: Can I freeze the stuffed crescent rolls before baking? A: Yes, you can assemble the rolls and freeze them on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time? A: Absolutely! You can assemble the stuffed crescent rolls up to a day in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake. Just be sure to increase the baking time slightly to account for the cold filling.
