Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 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
- Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well incorporated.
- Unroll Crescent Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangular pieces along the perforations.
- Fill and Roll: Take one triangle of dough and place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling on the wider end. Carefully roll the dough toward the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you roll to enclose the filling.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the point side facing down to prevent unraveling. Repeat this process with all dough triangles and filling.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crescent rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack or baking sheet before serving warm.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For extra flavor, add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the filling.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or your favorite cheese.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to allow easy mixing with other ingredients.
- Serve these rolls warm as a snack, appetizer, or light meal.
