Ingredients

• 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 small (finely diced) Yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 large (beaten, for egg wash) Egg
• 1 tablespoon (optional) Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion with a pinch of salt and black pepper until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Open one can of crescent roll dough and carefully separate the dough into 8 triangles. Repeat with the second can.

Step 5

Place a heaping spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the chicken mixture at the widest part of each crescent roll triangle.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the dough over the filling and roll it up from the wide end to the pointed end, fully enclosing the filling. Pinch any seams to seal securely.

Step 7

Place the bundles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the bundles with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bundles cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
