Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried dill or parsley
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted (for brushing)
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 shredded chicken, cream cheese, softened butter, milk, green onions, salt, pepper, and dill or parsley. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 3
Open the crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles, pressing the diagonal perforations together to seal the seams.
Step 4
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and place one portion in the center of each rectangle.
Step 5
Bring the corners of the dough up over the filling and pinch them together to form a square-shaped packet. Ensure all edges are sealed to prevent leakage during baking.
Step 6
Brush the tops of the chicken squares with melted butter, then sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over all packets for added crunch.
Step 7
Carefully place the chicken crescent squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
