Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 can (8 ounces) Croissant dough (refrigerated, store-bought)
- 1 large Egg (beaten)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
Add the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined and creamy.
Open the refrigerated croissant dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
On a clean surface, lightly flatten each triangle of dough with your fingers or a rolling pin to make it slightly larger.
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle. Fold the corners of the triangle over the filling to form a square or packet, pinching the edges to seal.
Transfer the filled dough squares onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to enhance browning and shine.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the squares are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the tops lightly with melted butter for extra richness.
Allow the Toasty Chicken Squares to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a savory snack or appetizer.
