Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls each)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. The mixture should be creamy and well-coated, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. For added freshness, stir in the chopped parsley, if using.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the cans of crescent roll dough and separate them into 16 triangles. Place the triangles onto a large, ungreased baking sheet, arranging them so they don’t touch.
- Stuff the Rolls: Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the widest part of each crescent dough triangle. Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point. Place the rolled crescent rolls onto the baking sheet with the point side down to help them stay intact while baking.
- Bake the Rolls: Once all the crescent rolls are filled and rolled, bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be sure to watch them closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Serve them warm, either as a savory snack, a delicious appetizer, or a main course with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
