Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough & Topping
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Separate crescent rolls: Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully separate the dough into 8 triangles as per package instructions.
- Fill and wrap: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough over the filling, starting at the wide edge and rolling toward the pointed end, to form bundles.
- Prepare for baking: Place the bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface, spacing them evenly. Brush each bundle generously with melted butter.
- Add topping and bake: If desired, sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over the top of each bundle for added texture. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm as appetizers or snacks.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves cooking time and adds flavor.
- Seasoned bread crumbs are optional but add a nice crunchy topping.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Can be reheated in the oven or microwave for leftovers.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
