Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tubes Canned crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Optional parsley or chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as marked. Place each triangle on your prepared baking sheet, keeping them slightly apart.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Carefully roll the dough up, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point, enclosing the filling inside the crescent roll.
Brush the top of each crescent with the melted butter to help them turn golden and flaky during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, easy chicken crescents.
