Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
Filling
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles along the perforations.
- Stuff and Roll: Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture on the wide end of each dough triangle. Carefully roll the dough up from the wide end towards the point, folding in the sides to seal in the filling as needed.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the stuffed rolls on the lined baking sheet and brush the tops generously with the melted butter to ensure a golden, flavorful crust.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is flaky and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked rolls to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot inside.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked chicken with leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like parsley or chives to the filling.
- These crescent rolls can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the filling mixture.
