Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dough and Topping
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Optional: parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into 8 individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Fill the crescents: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, spacing it evenly to avoid overfilling.
- Roll the crescents: Carefully roll each dough triangle from the wide end toward the pointed tip, enclosing the chicken filling securely inside the dough to form a crescent-shaped roll.
- Arrange and butter: Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter to help them brown beautifully during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, optionally garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For convenience, use rotisserie chicken as a quick shortcut.
- To add a spicy kick, incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce into the filling mixture.
- These stuffed crescent rolls pair wonderfully with ranch dressing or honey mustard for dipping.
