Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well blended.
- Unroll Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean, flat surface, keeping the dough intact.
- Fill Dough: Take one triangle of dough and place a spoonful of the prepared chicken filling at the wider end. Roll the dough toward the pointed end, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange each rolled crescent roll on the greased baking sheet with the pointed end facing down. Repeat this process with all dough triangles and filling until all are used.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the crescent rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded chicken for the best texture, or rotisserie chicken as a convenient shortcut.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- These crescent rolls are excellent served with a side of ranch or marinara sauce for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
