Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (about 1 lb total) Chicken breasts
- 1 cup, cooked or canned (rinsed and drained) Black beans
- 1 cup, canned or frozen and thawed Corn kernels
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz, softened Cream cheese
- 2 stalks, finely sliced Green onion
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 can (8 rolls) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook and shred the chicken breasts. If needed, boil or bake them until cooked through (internal temperature at least 165°F/74°C). Let cool slightly before shredding.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, green onion, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
Fold the dough over the filling, tucking in the edges and wrapping the triangle to form a bundle. Pinch any openings or holes to seal the filling completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the tops of each bundle to ensure a golden and glossy finish.
Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, possibly with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for dipping.
