Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 8-ounce cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is fully incorporated.
Open the crescent roll dough cans and separate them into individual triangles as outlined in the packaging.
Place one heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal. Shape them into squares or packets.
In a shallow dish, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter with the milk. In another dish, spread the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each crescent square first into the butter and milk mixture, then press gently into the panko breadcrumbs to coat the top and sides.
Arrange the coated crescent squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent squares are golden brown and cooked through.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
