Watch your family devour these chicken bundles full of creamy flavor. You can make these soft pillows regular-sized or cut them in half for mini appetizers or little hands.

This oh-so-amazing chicken bundles recipe is one of our absolute family favorites.

Not only does this simple dinner come together fast (especially if you have cooked chicken already on hand), it’s full of creamy goodness with a flaky, buttery crust that can only be attributed to the one and only Pillsbury!

I know prepackaged dough doesn’t necessarily make this recipe the cheapest, but dinner prep is much less of a hassle and way more manageable with a shortcut or two. I don’t always have time to make dough during our already busy schedules. Not ideal, but the truth nevertheless!

So embrace the shortcuts (for more ideas on how to cook with crescent roll dough, check out this list!) and watch your family devour these chicken bundles full of creamy flavor. You can make these soft pillows regular-sized or cut them in half for mini appetizers or little hands.

Everyone I’ve made these for has absolutely adored them!

How to Make Chicken Bundles:

Step 1: Cook chicken. Do this the day before (or use rotisserie chicken) to speed up prep time. Psst… here’s how to shred cooked chicken in less than a minute!

Step 2: In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese, butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 3: Stir in chicken, and mix well until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the creamy “sauce.”

Step 4: Unroll crescent dough on an ungreased baking sheet, and press seams together of two triangles to form a rectangular shape.

Step 5: Spoon about 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto one side of each rectangle. Bring the other side over to cover chicken mixture and pinch to seal. Press edges with a fork to make it pretty!

Step 6: Bake chicken bundles at 350 degrees F about 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

    Kayla- Hi! this is a favorite of my family also! I ‘tweaked’ the recipe just a bit and add a little garlic salt and a tablespoon of ranch dressing to the cram cheese mixture. ( I’ve also used the low fat neufchatel cream cheese and fat free ranch wrapped in reduced fat crescent rolls for a lower calorie version!) My kids really like when I add a few garlic croutons on top! I like the idea of making them smaller and serving for an appetizer!

      Your additions sound wonderful! I’m definitely going to try the garlic croutons. 🙂

    I added some salsa and taco mix in to make it like a southwest flavor, family loved it, served with Spanish rice 🙂

    This is a family favorite also. We call them chicken squares! I mix it up and use the different kinds of cream cheese available or add frozen peas or corn.

      I never thought about experimenting with different cream cheeses before, but you’re right, there are a ton of fun flavors to try!

    I made these tonight and both my husband and I loved them! Very good, definitely going to be a new regular for us. I did add some fresh chives but I don’t think I added enough because I couldn’t even taste them. But…even without them these were great. Thanks for the recipe!

    Also, do you think these would freeze well? They seem like they’d make a nice snack, kind of like healthier hot pockets. If so, would you freeze them before cooking and then just cook the same time or slightly longer?

      When I experimented with these, I froze them before cooking and it was not a good idea! The dough is very sticky and I ended up cooking it as one big blob because they kept ripping apart when I tried to separate them. I haven’t attempted to freeze the cooked ones yet – please let me know if you try it and if it works!

    Love the idea of the recipe but when I try to “pin it” I get this message – Sorry this site does not allow pins. Is this a issue on my side or an issue with your site? I am enjoying your posts but could really use the pinterest option.

      Hi Patricia!

      Thanks for letting me know. This seems to be an intermittent issue that we haven’t figured out yet. If you refresh the page a time or two it usually works. Meanwhile, I’ve got my team looking into it to see if we can figure out what’s going on.

Minimalism ≠ Deprivation.⁣
⁣
Sadly, I find most people resist minimalism because they can't wrap their head around "having less." People tend to equate this movement with blank walls, white IKEA furniture, and decluttering everything in your home down to practically nothing so you can live full-time in an RV. Like me. 😉⁣
⁣
But, while minimalism could be all that, this mindset misses the point. Minimalism is not only about “having less.” 🚫⁣
⁣
It’s so much more than that.⁣
⁣
This week on the blog, I'm sharing the REAL definition of minimalism (that people who love their stuff can totally get behind!) as well as practical ways to incorporate minimalism into your life. 🎉⁣
⁣
Drop a heart emoji in the comments below and I'll send the link to your DM's! 💖

I love lazy Saturday mornings...as long as I have a book and a cozy blanket! 😍

I wrote this in my journal the other day: 📓⁣

I wrote this in my journal the other day: 📓⁣
⁣
“I’ve been thinking about what tech boundaries I want to instill, including boundaries related to work and productivity. I’ve become less careful about my media consumption, and it’s having a negative affect on my mental health.” 💞⁣
⁣
Have you ever felt a similar tug? ⁣
⁣
I can’t begin to tell you how many times I pick up my phone because I’m bored or lonely or jealous or unhappy. It almost always makes me feel worse. And yet...I struggle to stop. 😝⁣
⁣
Here are the ideas I’ve been trying this month and I’m already seeing a positive effect:⁣
⁣
➕ No logging into social media after 8pm. I need to wind down for the night, not get lost in my phone! 📲⁣
➕ Open Instagram with a purpose—either to post or to interact. Stop endlessly scrolling.⁣
➕ My only screen time before 9am should be for Bible Study apps or News. 🗞⁣
➕ Turn my phone on Do Not Disturb during Tiger Time (when I need the most focus for work) 💪⁣
➕ Work no more than 4 hours on my business per day. If a task isn’t complete, push it to the next day. This time frame has really helped me prioritize! 💻⁣
➕ Watch one show per day (or two if they are short!) and leave movies for the weekend. 📺⁣
⁣
What tech boundaries have you set up? Are any new as of this year? I’d love to hear your ideas! 😃

What’s one thing you budget for that other peopl
What’s one thing you budget for that other people might not? I always find those interesting. 😃⁣
⁣
You might have a mortgage. I budget for campgrounds. You might want a separate clothing budget, while I’m fine combining it under “Beauty and Style.” Recently, we also added a new line item for our motorcycle—something I NEVER thought would appear in our budget. ⁣
⁣
See, we’re all different! ⁣
⁣
Recently, I rearranged my budget categories and created this “cheat sheet.” Sometimes I forget where things go, like picking up new wall art for the living room. Does this item belong in the categories of Household Items or Home Maintenance? 🤔⁣
⁣
Now I know! And I save time processing receipts each Friday. 🧾⁣
⁣
What budgeting categories do you use? Share one of your random budget line items with me in the comments below! 😃

I call 2020 the Year of Abandoned Books. ⁣
⁣
I’m never afraid to stop reading a book if it doesn’t live up to the hype. Why invest more time in a book I’m not all that excited about when I could be exploring new authors and storylines where I can’t wait to turn the page? 🤷⁣
⁣
But in 2020, I let more books go than I normally do. I suppose my patience dwindled when I thought the world was ending. Not that I thought the world was actually ending…but you know what I mean. 😉⁣
⁣
As an Enneagram 1, I hate giving up on a book. I’m prone to the all-or-nothing mentality, even in my reading habits. My eyes could glaze over boring prose and I’d still repeat to myself: “You MUST finish this book!” 😫⁣
⁣
Why? ⁣
⁣
No one is adding a plastic star to your Book-It pin, (Remember those?) This isn’t assigned reading from your high school English class. This is YOUR reading life. ⁣
⁣
And YOU should choose what books deserve your attention. 📚⁣
⁣
There are too many good ones out there anyway.  Like one of my favorite reads from 2020. 😍⁣
⁣
This week’s newest blog post rounds up everything I read last year (43 books total!) including 5-star psychological thrillers, a delightful royal series, a couple self-help books, and of course, historical fiction.⁣

My planner/journal lineup for 2021. 👆 ⁣
⁣
These small but mighty sidekicks will be my saving grace this year. 📚⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Bullet Journal (Blue) - for everyday planning and goal setting⁣
2️⃣ Regular Journal (Yellow) - to track gratitude (5 things a day!) and to process ALL the feelings⁣
3️⃣ Growth Journal (Sand) - a space for me to brain dump everything I learn from books, podcasts, sermons, etc ⁣
⁣
That last one is new to me as of this year and I can't wait to flip back through all my notes come December! 📆⁣

What planners/journals are you using for 2021?
