Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the filling.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as indicated by the perforations.

Step 4

Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough triangle.

Step 5

Gently fold the corners of the dough over the filling, gathering and pinching the edges to completely seal the filling inside. Shape it into a round or 'baseball-like' shape.

Step 6

In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the milk to create a wash.

Step 7

Brush each 'baseball' with the butter-milk mixture to coat the surface.

Step 8

Roll the coated 'baseballs' in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 9

Arrange the coated 'baseballs' on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These Chicken Baseballs are best enjoyed while warm!
