Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, shred or finely chop the cooked chicken breast.
Add the low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the bowl with the chicken. Mix well until fully combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as directed on the package.
Place a heaping spoonful (approximately 1/8th of the mixture) of the chicken filling in the center of each dough triangle.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal completely, forming a baseball-like shape.
Place the filled balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the 'baseballs' with cooking spray to help them brown evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these light, flavorful, and perfectly portioned Poppy Seed Chicken Baseballs!
