  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 rolls (3–4 servings)

Ingredients

1 can (8 count) crescent roll dough

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

Extra shredded cheese for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
  4. Place a spoonful of chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Roll each triangle from wide end to tip, sealing the filling inside, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle extra cheese if desired.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to roll the dough tightly and place seam-side down to prevent leaking.
  • Can be assembled ahead of time and baked later.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in oven, air fryer, or microwave (microwave may soften texture).
  • Freeze after baking and reheat from frozen at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
  • Use low-fat cheese or cream cheese for a lighter version.
