Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (8 oz/235 g) can of crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheating and Preparation: Set the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating to prevent sticking.
- Chicken Mixture Creation: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until the ingredients form a uniform, creamy filling.
- Dough Arrangement and Filling: Unroll the crescent dough, separating into triangular sections, and distribute a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture across the wider base of each triangle, ensuring even coverage.
- Rolling and Sealing: Carefully roll each triangle from the broad base to the pointed tip, meticulously pinching and sealing the edges to contain the savory filling securely within the dough.
- Baking and Transformation: Position the stuffed crescents on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing, then place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until they achieve a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Cooling and Finishing: Remove the crescents from the oven and allow a brief cooling period to stabilize their structure, then optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley or sprinkled Parmesan cheese.
- Serving Suggestion: Present the warm rolls immediately, accompanied by complementary dipping sauces like ranch dressing or marinara, and consider pairing with a crisp side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Cheese Consistency Check: Ensure cream cheese and cheddar are at room temperature for smoother, more even mixing and better blending with chicken.
- Seal Securely: Pinch crescent roll edges firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking, creating a clean and professional-looking final product.
- Moisture Management: Drain excess liquid from shredded chicken to avoid soggy or watery filling that could compromise the roll’s texture.
- Flavor Customization: Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika, dried herbs, or hot sauce to personalize the chicken mixture and add unique flavor profiles.
