Delightful crescent dough roll ups filled with tender chicken and creamy goodness, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or your choice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined and creamy.
- Roll Out the Dough: Open the cans of crescent roll dough and unroll the dough onto a clean surface.
- Fill the Crescents: Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling at the wider end of each triangle. Roll the dough towards the point, creating a snug roll.
- Bake: Place the roll ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have space in between. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Notes
For an extra crispy finish, broil them for a minute or two at the end of baking. Avoid overfilling your roll ups to prevent bursting.
