Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 oz
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded, rotisserie chicken works great
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon parsley fresh or dried, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and creamy with no cream cheese chunks remaining.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling at the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill.
  5. Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough toward the point, gently tucking in the sides as you go. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown. Let them cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Can be frozen unbaked for 2-3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 3-5 extra minutes to cooking time.
