Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined and creamy.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangular pieces.
- Fill and roll: Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll each triangle up tightly toward the narrow end, tucking the sides slightly to enclose the filling securely.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place each roll seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly to allow for baking expansion.
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn a golden brown and the dough is cooked through completely.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions to the filling mix.
- These rolls make a versatile dish suitable for appetizers, lunch, or a quick dinner option.
- Using rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut to save time in preparation.
