Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
- Roll out the crescent dough and cut into 8 equal squares.
- Press each dough square into the muffin cups to form a cup shape.
- Add a spoonful of marinara sauce to the bottom of each dough cup.
- Top with chopped chicken and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Add another small spoon of sauce and top with remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tin and serving warm.
Notes
- Swap mozzarella for provolone or a cheese blend.
