Ingredients
1 can crescent roll dough
1 ½ cups shredded chicken
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Optional: Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the rolls from sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the texture is smooth.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the crescent dough and divide it into individual triangles. Place a scoop of the chicken filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up, starting at the wide end and working your way to the narrow tip.
- Bake: Place the stuffed rolls on the baking sheet you’ve prepared. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and nicely puffed.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Use Pre-Cooked Chicken
Save time by using shredded rotisserie chicken or leftovers from a previous meal. You can also quickly cook and shred chicken breasts or thighs if needed.
Soften the Cream Cheese
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth and creamy filling. Leave it at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or microwave it for 10-15 seconds.
Cheese Options
Don’t hesitate to try out different types of cheese to match your personal preference. Sharp cheddar adds a bold flavor, mozzarella offers a mild, gooey texture, and blends like Monterey Jack or Colby can add variety.
Customize the Seasoning
Add more flavor to the filling with optional seasonings like onion powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning. Adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.
Crescent Dough Tips
Handle the crescent dough gently to avoid tearing. If a tear occurs, pinch the dough back together before rolling.
Keep an Eye on Baking Time
Check the rolls a few minutes before the end of the recommended baking time to ensure they don’t overbrown. Every oven varies, so bake until the rolls are golden brown and puffed.
Add Garnishes for a Finishing Touch
Fresh parsley or chives sprinkled on top after baking adds a pop of color and enhances the presentation.
Serve Warm
These rolls are best enjoyed warm when the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey.
Dipping Sauces
Pair these rolls with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or honey mustard for extra flavor.
Perfect for Leftovers
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, use the oven or air fryer for a crispy texture.
