Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture at the wider end of each triangle.
- Roll each crescent from the wide end to the point, sealing the filling inside.
- Place the rolls on the baking sheet and brush each one with melted butter.
- Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot with a dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- You can use leftover cooked or rotisserie chicken to simplify the prep.
- Don’t overfill the dough triangles—this helps prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
- Serve immediately for best texture: flaky outside and melty inside.
- Try dipping sauces like ranch, marinara or honey mustard for extra flavour.
