Ingredients

• 6 pieces Croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

On a clean work surface, unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.

Step 4

Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken and cheddar mixture onto the widest end of each croissant triangle.

Step 5

Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle toward the pointed end, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.

Step 6

Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s space between them to expand during baking.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash for a golden finish during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and fully puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and brush the tops lightly with melted butter for an extra shine and flavor boost.

Step 10

Allow the croissants to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
