Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Cheese Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Base/Wrap Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces/235 g) can of crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
Creamy and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or applying a light grease coating.
- Create a harmonious chicken mixture by thoroughly blending shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent dough and separate into individual triangular sections, spreading a generous spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture across the wider portion of each triangle.
- Expertly roll each triangle from the broad base toward the pointed tip, ensuring the filling remains securely enclosed by gently pinching and sealing the edges.
- Strategically arrange the stuffed crescents on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each roll.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and allow the crescents to transform into golden-brown delicacies, typically requiring 12-15 minutes of baking time.
- Remove from the oven and permit the rolls a brief cooling period to stabilize their structure and temperature.
- Enhance the presentation by optional garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or sprinkled Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by complementary dipping sauces like ranch dressing or marinara, or pair with a crisp side salad for a complete meal experience.
Notes
- Customize the filling by swapping chicken with leftover turkey, pulled pork, or even vegetarian alternatives like shredded jackfruit for diverse dietary preferences.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature to blend seamlessly with other ingredients, creating a smoother, more uniform filling.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by patting shredded chicken dry with paper towels before mixing, reducing excess moisture that could make crescent rolls damp.
- Freeze assembled, uncooked rolls for quick weeknight meals – simply add 3-5 extra minutes to baking time when cooking directly from frozen state.
