Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (approximately 2 medium chicken breasts)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the rolls will bake evenly and turn golden brown.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cooked chicken, 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Unroll the crescent dough: Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles along the pre-cut lines.
- Fill the dough: Take about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling and place it near the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as it could ooze out during baking.
- Roll the crescents: Gently roll the triangle from the wide end towards the point to form a crescent shape. Ensure the filling is tucked inside and the point is tucked underneath the roll to secure the filling.
- Prepare for baking: Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and brush it over each crescent roll for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake the rolls: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, preferably with a dipping sauce of your choice!
