Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 quarter cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls per can)
- 2 tsp Melted butter
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
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 chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is evenly combined.
Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per package instructions.
Place a generous spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each crescent triangle.
Carefully fold the corners of the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Repeat for all triangles.
Brush the tops of the sealed crescent pockets with melted butter, then sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs for added crunch.
Arrange the chicken pockets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each pocket for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
