Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Green onions (finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 8-ounce cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 cups Panko 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 medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is fully incorporated.

Step 3

Open the crescent roll dough cans and separate them into individual triangles as outlined in the packaging.

Step 4

Place one heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle.

Step 5

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal. Shape them into squares or packets.

Step 6

In a shallow dish, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter with the milk. In another dish, spread the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Dip each crescent square first into the butter and milk mixture, then press gently into the panko breadcrumbs to coat the top and sides.

Step 8

Arrange the coated crescent squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
