Q1: Can I use canned chicken for this recipe?

Yes, canned chicken works well in a pinch. Be sure to drain it thoroughly and break it apart with a fork before mixing it into the filling.

Q2: How do I prevent the crescent rolls from becoming soggy?

To avoid soggy bottoms, place the rolls on parchment paper or a wire rack on the baking sheet, and ensure your filling isn't overly wet.

Q3: Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can prepare the filling up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate it. For best results, assemble and bake the rolls fresh just before serving.

Q4: What are some vegetarian alternatives?

Replace the chicken with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or a chickpea mash for a hearty vegetarian version that still delivers great flavor and texture.
