Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite variety)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: additional seasonings such as paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, and any optional seasonings you desire. Mix until well combined.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll up the crescent dough, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go, to enclose the filling.
- Arrange the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
- Optional: brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
