Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz can) | 1 can |
| Cooked chicken, shredded | 2 cups |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | 1/4 cup |
| Milk | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic powder | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Butter, melted (optional for brushing on top) | 1 tablespoon |
| Fresh parsley (optional for garnish) | As needed |
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well blended.
- Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles on a flat surface.
- Add Filling: Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll Up: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the point, ensuring that the filling stays tucked inside. Place each roll-up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional Butter Brush: For an extra golden touch, brush the top of each roll-up with melted butter.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the hot roll-ups for a burst of color and freshness.
