Description
Tender, seasoned chicken enveloped in a rich, creamy cheese sauce, all tucked within a perfectly flaky, golden crescent roll crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 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, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or 9×13-inch dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
- Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up towards the narrow point. Curve them into the classic crescent shape and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Garnish with parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
