Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken Rotisserie or leftover chicken works great
  • 1 package crescent roll dough Classic Pillsbury Crescent Rolls recommended
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Or any cheese of your choice
  • 4 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder For extra flavor
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper Freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp salt Adjust to taste

Optional Additions

  • 2 tbsp buffalo sauce For a spicy kick
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing For extra creaminess
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions For garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
  • Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll.
  • Roll up the crescent rolls starting from the wide end, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling inside.
  • Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on top.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, or your favorite seasonings to the filling. You can also substitute crescent dough with puff pastry for a flakier texture.
