Step 3: Prepare the Croissants
- Slice each croissant horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
- Gently open the croissant to reveal the inner space where the filling will go.
Step 4: Fill the Croissants
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and cream cheese mixture into each croissant.
- Press lightly to make sure the filling stays inside without spilling over.
Step 5: Bake the Croissants
- Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly.
- Optional: For an extra golden top, brush the croissants lightly with melted butter before baking.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, let the croissants cool for a few minutes. Then serve warm. The flaky, buttery exterior paired with the creamy, savory filling is utterly irresistible. These croissants are great with a side salad, fresh fruit, or even a cup of coffee for a complete brunch experience.
Tips for the Perfect Cream Cheese Chicken Croissants
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the filling a day before and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake just before serving.
- Add veggies: Spinach, roasted red peppers, or mushrooms can be added to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Cheese variations: Try mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different twist.
- Mini croissants: Perfect for parties or appetizers — just reduce the filling proportionally.
