Ingredients
For the Crescent Rolls
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
For the Filling
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover works great)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Topping
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until the filling is soft, creamy, and easily scoopable.
- Prep the Crescent Dough: Unroll the canned crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangular sections as per the package instructions.
- Fill and Roll: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll each crescent from the wide end to the narrow tip, sealing in the filling as best as you can. Some filling might peek out, but that’s okay.
- Brush and Bake: Arrange the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to help achieve a golden, crispy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve Warm: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. They pair wonderfully with ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- You can add other ingredients like cooked bacon or finely chopped bell peppers for variation.
- If the filling is too loose, chill it for 15 minutes before filling the dough to prevent leakage.
- Serve these appetizer rolls warm for the best taste and texture.
