Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 1 package store-bought crescent roll dough

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella blend)
  • 2–3 green onions or chives, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Finishing

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a bowl, mix cooked shredded chicken with softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined and creamy.
  2. Unroll the Crescent Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface, separating it into individual triangles as marked on the packaging for easy portioning.
  3. Fill and Roll: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture near the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll the dough tightly towards the pointed end, sealing the filling inside by pinching the edges firmly.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden-brown finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until dough is puffed and golden brown.
  5. Cooling and Serving: Allow the rolls to cool slightly after baking so the filling can set. Serve warm for the best flavor and gooey texture.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the rolls to prevent leaking and tearing of the dough.
  • Seal edges well by pinching firmly to keep filling inside during baking.
  • Use fresh cheeses and herbs to enhance the overall flavor and texture.
  • Brush with melted butter before baking to achieve crisp, golden rolls.
  • Serve the rolls warm to enjoy their gooey and satisfying texture.
