Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescents.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
  3. Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into triangles as per the package instructions.
  4. Fill Crescents: Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and cheese filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Wrap Crescents: Starting at the wide end, roll up each crescent over the filling toward the point, forming a crescent shape.
  6. Bake: Place the filled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm as a delicious appetizer or main dish.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of black pepper or your favorite herbs for extra flavor.
  • Serve with a side salad or dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
