Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp (softened) Butter
- 1 cup (chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 packages Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup (optional for topping) Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp (optional for brushing) Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, softened butter, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is well combined and creamy.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into rectangles (two triangle sections make one rectangle). Seal the perforated edges by pinching the dough together.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each rectangle.
Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together, fully enclosing the chicken mixture inside.
If desired, brush the tops of the chicken squares with milk and sprinkle breadcrumbs for a golden, crispy finish.
Place the filled squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as is!
