Chicken Alfredo Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
Crescents
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Collect all ingredients to streamline the cooking process and ensure everything is ready to use.
- Mix filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
- Add cheese: Stir in mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese until fully integrated into the mixture.
- Preheat oven: Set the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat fully.
- Prepare dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean flat surface.
- Separate triangles: Gently pull apart the dough along the perforated lines to separate individual crescent triangles.
- Fill crescents: Place a spoonful of the chicken Alfredo mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll crescents: Roll each triangle from the wide end to pointed end, tucking in sides to form crescent shapes.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the rolled crescents on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the crescents.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
- Prepare sides (optional): While baking, prepare a simple side salad or steamed vegetables to accompany the crescents.
- Cool slightly: Remove crescents from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Garnish: Transfer crescents to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
- Store leftovers: Place any remaining crescents in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- Chicken can be rotisserie, leftover, or freshly cooked before use.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Ensure not to overfill the crescents to prevent leakage during baking.
- Alfredo sauce can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for best texture instead of microwave.
