🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the filling.

3. Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles as per the perforations.

4. Place a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the widest part of each triangle.

5. Roll each triangle up starting from the wide end, tucking the filling inside as you go. Pinch the edges slightly to seal if necessary.

6. Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one for them to expand as they bake.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly onto the tops of each croissant for a golden, shiny finish.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.

9. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

10. Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken Croissants!
