Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 cups (454 grams) cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) green onions, chopped
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure perfect golden and flaky crescent rolls.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Distribute a generous tablespoon of the chicken and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow end, carefully encasing the filling and pinching the edges to seal completely.
- Optionally, tuck the corners under for a more refined presentation.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow proper expansion during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, monitoring until the rolls turn a rich golden brown and develop a flaky texture.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for added visual appeal and flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delectable chicken-filled crescent rolls with family or friends.
Notes
- Swap chicken with shredded turkey or plant-based alternatives for dietary variety and keep the creamy texture intact.
- Reduce cream cheese calories by using low-fat versions or Greek yogurt without compromising the rich, tangy flavor profile.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding finely chopped spinach or diced bell peppers into the chicken mixture for extra vitamins and color.
- Prepare filling mixture ahead of time and refrigerate for deeper flavor integration, allowing ingredients to meld together perfectly.
