Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray

Ingredients Overview

• Crescent Roll Dough: The base of this recipe, offering a light and flaky texture.
• Cooked Chicken: Shredded or diced chicken provides a hearty filling.
• Cheese: A combination of cream cheese for creaminess and shredded cheddar or mozzarella for gooey goodness.
• Seasonings: Garlic powder, onion powder, and optional herbs enhance the flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken, 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.

2. Assemble the Crescent Rolls

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
• Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
• Roll up the dough, starting at the wide end, and tuck in the sides to seal the filling inside.

3. Bake

• Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
• Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of garlic powder or dried parsley for extra flavor.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.

4. Serve

• Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, marinara, or honey mustard.

Recipe Tips

• Chicken Prep: Use rotisserie chicken, leftover cooked chicken, or even canned chicken for convenience.
• Cheese Options: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or your favorite shredded cheese.
• Sealing the Rolls: Pinch the edges of the dough together tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
