Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz can crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (fresh or dried)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Oven
  • knife and cutting board (for chicken and parsley)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface.
  4. Take a triangle of dough, place a spoonful of filling at the wider end, and roll it towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides.
  5. Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet with the point facing down and repeat until all are assembled.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve these with marinara sauce, ranch, or honey mustard for dipping. You can make them ahead, refrigerate unbaked rolls, and bake just before serving. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the oven or air fryer.
