Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tubes Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 piece Egg, beaten
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Open the crescent roll dough tubes and separate the dough into individual triangles as pre-perforated.
Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
Gently roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and tucking the filling inside as you go. Pinch the edges to seal the dough around the filling to prevent leakage during baking.
Optional: Lightly brush the outside of each rolled crescent with the beaten egg and sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs for added crunch.
Arrange the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully cooked.
Allow the Chicken and Cream Cheese Bites to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
