Ingredients:
To make these irresistible chicken-stuffed crescent rolls, you’ll need:
For the Rolls
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning
Extra shredded cheese for garnish
PREPARATION:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir until well combined and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into triangles.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up the crescent rolls, starting at the wide end and tucking in the filling as you go. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Toppings (Optional)
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crescent rolls warm, straight from the oven.
Pair with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or a warm bowl of soup for a complete meal.
Offer dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or marinara for added flavor.
