Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough and Topping
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and evenly blended.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Assemble Rolls: Place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture at the wide end of each dough triangle. Carefully roll up each crescent starting from the wide end, tucking the filling in as you go to prevent it from spilling out.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
- Add Toppings: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a golden finish and sprinkle with paprika if you desire a little extra color and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the stuffed crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or marinara.
Notes
- These rolls are versatile and can be served as an appetizer, lunch, or quick dinner.
- Try serving with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or marinara sauce for added flavor.
- You can customize the filling by adding cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, or chopped jalapeños for a flavor boost.
