Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 can crescent roll dough
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescent rolls to a golden, crispy finish.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and carefully separate it into individual triangular pieces as indicated on the package.
- Fill Rolls: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle, ensuring an even distribution of filling in each roll.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle towards the pointed end, sealing the edges gently as you go to enclose the filling.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled crescent rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and enable easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to let the filling set.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with your favorite dipping sauce or seasoning blend.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
- These crescent rolls can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple of extra minutes to baking time.
- Serve with a side of ranch or a dipping sauce of your choice for added flavor.
