Baked Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

Directions for Baked Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise (or sour cream), garlic powder, and green onions (if using).
2. Mix everything until well-combined, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls

1. Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into individual triangles.
2. Place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the widest part of each crescent roll triangle.
3. Gently roll up each crescent roll from the wide end to the narrow end, wrapping the filling inside. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
2. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm, as they are perfect on their own or paired with a dipping sauce like ranch, honey mustard, or marinara.

Tips and Variations

• Add Veggies: For extra nutrition, you can add finely chopped veggies to the filling, such as bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
• Different Cheeses: Swap out cheddar for other cheeses, like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss, for different flavors.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling if you like a little heat.
• Herbs and Seasonings: Try adding a dash of Italian seasoning, parsley, or thyme for added depth of flavor.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, or reheat in the microwave for a quick bite.
