Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 1 package crescent roll dough

Chicken Filling

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme blend)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended and creamy.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure crisp, clean baking.
  3. Unroll Crescent Dough: Carefully open the crescent roll dough package and separate the dough into individual triangles on a flat surface.
  4. Add Filling to Dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken filling near the widest edge of each crescent triangle. Spread it evenly but leave space at the edges to seal properly.
  5. Roll Up the Crescents: Starting from the widest end, gently roll each crescent towards the pointed tip, encasing the filling securely inside.
  6. Bake: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and flaky.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes on a wire rack to avoid burning your mouth. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use slightly warm chicken to blend better with the cream cheese for a smoother filling.
  • Do not overfill the crescents to prevent dough from tearing or leaking during baking.
  • Pinch the dough edges firmly to seal in the filling and avoid spills.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter before baking to achieve a golden color and add richness.
  • Assemble the rolls ahead of time and refrigerate before baking to save time.
