Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Dough
- 1 can crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently separate it into individual triangular pieces, ready for filling.
- Fill Crescents: Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Roll Crescents: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the crescent rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents burns while eating.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother.
- Feel free to substitute ranch dressing with your favorite seasoning or sauce for variety.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice color and fresh flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
