Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough
- 1 can crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the stuffed crescent rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and carefully separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the chicken cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, making sure not to overfill.
- Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough over the filling toward the pointed end, sealing the edges gently to enclose the filling.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place each rolled crescent on the sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can use different types of shredded cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and better texture.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara for added flavor.
- For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the filling.
