Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 4 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large (beaten) Egg
- 1 teaspoon Poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate each package into 8 triangles, following the perforations.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the widest end of each crescent triangle.
Carefully roll each triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the tip, encasing the chicken mixture completely.
Arrange the rolled crescent appetizers on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish. Optionally, sprinkle poppy seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These appetizers are best enjoyed warm!
