  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 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)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Baking

  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth and well-incorporated filling.
  3. Prepare the Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it carefully on a clean, flat surface.
  4. Fill and Roll the Crescents: Take one triangle piece of dough at a time. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling near the wider end of the triangle. Roll the dough starting from the wide end towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you roll to secure the filling inside.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled crescent on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end tucked underneath to help maintain shape during baking. Repeat this process until all dough and filling are used.
  6. Bake: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute shredded cooked turkey for the chicken to vary the flavor.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure easy mixing and a smooth filling.
  • These can be made ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
  • Serve with a side of ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping.
