Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 package (8 rolls) Canned crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix until well incorporated and creamy.
Open the package of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangular pieces along the perforated edges.
Place a heaping spoonful of the chicken mixture near the wider end of each dough triangle. Gently roll the dough from the wide end toward the tip, tucking in the filling as you go. Pinch the edges slightly to seal the dough, if necessary.
Place the wrapped chicken rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between them.
Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter for a golden, flaky crust. If desired, sprinkle dried parsley on top for added flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces or a side salad!
