Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz/226g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 240g (1 cup) cooked, shredded chicken
  • 120g (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
  • 120g (1/2 cup) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 30g (1/4 cup) chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) melted butter

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
  4. Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle, tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside.
  6. Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
  7. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the top of each crescent roll with the melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with ranch or marinara sauce for dipping.
