Ingredients
Scale
Roll 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 chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the filling is smooth.
- Prepare the dough: Open the canned crescent roll dough and unroll it carefully onto a clean surface, separating it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Assemble the rolls: Take one dough triangle and place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling onto the wider end. Roll the dough from the wide side towards the pointed end, folding in the sides gently to enclose the filling securely.
- Place on baking sheet: Place each rolled crescent seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking. Repeat this process with all dough triangles and filling.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- If you prefer, you can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken.
- Fresh parsley can be used for a more vibrant flavor, but dried parsley works well too.
- To add a spicy kick, consider adding some chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- These rolls can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick snack.
