Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Dough and Topping
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are smooth and evenly blended, creating a creamy filling.
- Roll the Dough: Separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles as per package instructions. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll up tightly towards the tip to enclose the filling securely inside.
- Arrange and Brush: Place the rolled crescents seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter to help achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is an excellent shortcut to save time and add flavor.
- Try substituting mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for different flavor profiles.
- Add a pinch of paprika or ranch seasoning to the chicken mixture for an extra kick.
