Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

Dough and Topping

  • 1 package crescent roll dough (store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed and creamy, ensuring seasoning is balanced.
  2. Preheat the oven and prepare dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the crescent roll dough package and separate into individual triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Stuff the crescent rolls: Place a spoonful of the chicken filling near the wider end of each crescent dough triangle. Use a moderate amount to avoid leaks during baking.
  4. Roll and seal: Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the narrow tip to enclose the filling completely. Pinch edges firmly to seal the rolls.
  5. Add butter and bake: Brush melted butter on top of each crescent roll to enhance the golden crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until dough is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove rolls from oven and let cool slightly before serving to allow filling to set. Enjoy warm, gooey bites.

Notes

  • Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon for even filling distribution.
  • Press edges firmly but avoid overstretching the dough to prevent breaking.
  • Don’t overfill the rolls to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Let crescent dough come to room temperature before rolling for easier handling and better texture.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and melted cheese experience.
