Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tubes Canned crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Optional parsley or chives, chopped

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 shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as marked. Place each triangle on your prepared baking sheet, keeping them slightly apart.

Step 4

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.

Step 5

Carefully roll the dough up, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point, enclosing the filling inside the crescent roll.

Step 6

Brush the top of each crescent with the melted butter to help them turn golden and flaky during baking.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for garnish before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, easy chicken crescents.
