Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Baking

  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Unroll dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean, flat surface to prepare for filling.
  4. Assemble rolls: Take one triangular piece of dough, place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling at the wide end, then carefully roll it toward the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you roll to seal the filling inside.
  5. Arrange for baking: Place each rolled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down to maintain the shape. Repeat this until all dough and filling are used.
  6. Bake: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the filling by adding vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach, or spices such as paprika or cayenne for extra flavor.
  • Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly, making this recipe a great way to use cooked chicken.
  • These crescent rolls can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
  • You can freeze the assembled rolls before baking; just bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, marinara, or a spicy aioli, to enhance the flavor.
