Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 (8 oz/235 g) can of crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 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
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless release and clean-up.
- Flavor Fusion: Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, blending until the mixture becomes a harmonious, creamy amalgamation.
- Dough Preparation: Unroll the crescent dough triangles on a clean surface, ensuring each piece is positioned for optimal filling and rolling.
- Assembly Technique: Generously spread the chicken mixture across the wider base of each dough triangle, then carefully roll from the broad end to the pointed tip, encapsulating the filling completely and pinching the edges to create a secure seal.
- Pre-Bake Finishing: Brush the exterior of each stuffed crescent with melted butter, ensuring a rich, golden-brown finish that promises a crisp, appetizing texture.
- Baking Transformation: Place the prepared rolls on the parchment-lined sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, allowing them to puff up and develop a gorgeous golden color that signals perfect doneness.
- Presentation: Remove from the oven and let the crescents rest briefly, then garnish with fresh parsley or chives to add a vibrant, aromatic touch before serving hot and delectable.
Notes
- Prevent Filling Leakage: Pinch edges firmly and avoid overstuffing to keep chicken mixture sealed inside crescent rolls during baking.
- Customize Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheese types like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss to add unique flavor profiles and personalize the recipe.
- Enhance Moisture Control: Mix cream cheese thoroughly with chicken to create a smooth, cohesive filling that prevents dryness and ensures rich, creamy texture.
- Boost Nutritional Value: Consider adding finely chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to increase nutritional content and introduce additional layers of flavor to the chicken filling.
