Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar, or a mix)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup sautéed vegetables (optional, bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
1️⃣Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, sautéed vegetables (if using), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
3️⃣ Assemble the Rolls
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the filling on the wide end of each triangle.
4️⃣ Roll & Seal
Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed tip, enclosing the filling inside. Pinch the edges to seal.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Brush the tops with melted butter for a crispy, golden crust.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
6️⃣ Garnish & Serve
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with ranch, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard for dipping.
