Ingredients

• 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
• 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
• 2 tbsp (softened) Butter
• 1 cup (chopped) Green onions
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 packages Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 0.5 cup (optional for topping) Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp (optional for brushing) Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, softened butter, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is well combined and creamy.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into rectangles (two triangle sections make one rectangle). Seal the perforated edges by pinching the dough together.

Step 4

Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each rectangle.

Step 5

Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together, fully enclosing the chicken mixture inside.

Step 6

If desired, brush the tops of the chicken squares with milk and sprinkle breadcrumbs for a golden, crispy finish.

Step 7

Place the filled squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as is!
