Ingredients
Scale
Crescent 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 parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Other
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- 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.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly blended into a smooth filling.
- Roll Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into triangles following the pre-scored lines.
- Fill and Roll: Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll the dough from the wide end towards the pointed tip, carefully tucking in the sides to secure the filling inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down to prevent unrolling during baking. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
- Bake: Bake the filled crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puff up.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving to enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use fresh parsley for a brighter flavor, or dried parsley as a convenient alternative.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Chicken can be pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for ease and added flavor.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to easily blend with other filling ingredients.
- Keep an eye on the rolls during baking as oven temperatures can vary.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated in a warm oven or microwave.
