Indulge in these cheesy chicken crescent roll-ups, a perfect blend of creamy filling and flaky pastry. Whether you’re seeking a quick weeknight dinner, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or a delightful snack, these rolls are your go-to solution.
Ingredients:
• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Assemble the rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, encasing the filling.
4. Bake: Arrange the stuffed rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
5. Garnish and serve: If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions or parsley over the warm rolls before serving.
