Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
On a clean work surface, unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken and cheddar mixture onto the widest end of each croissant triangle.
Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle toward the pointed end, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s space between them to expand during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash for a golden finish during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and fully puffed.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops lightly with melted butter for an extra shine and flavor boost.
Allow the croissants to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
