Crescent rolls with chicken

Components:

1. One 8-ounce can of chilled crescent roll dough
2. Two cups of cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is excellent)
3. Half a cup of softened cream cheese
4. Half a cup of shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
5. 1/4 cup of optionally finely chopped onion
6. 1/4 teaspoon optional garlic powder
7. 1/4 teaspoon of optional Italian seasoning or dried oregano
8. To taste, add salt and pepper.
9. For brushing, use one tablespoon of melted butter.
10. One tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley or chives, if desired, for garnish

Directions:

1. Set the oven’s temperature to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet gently or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the filling: Put the shredded chicken, melted cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, the chopped onion (if using), oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Mix until the mixture is creamy and all the ingredients are properly incorporated.

3. Make the crescent rolls: As directed on the packaging, open the can of crescent roll dough and divide it into triangles.

4. Put the rolls together:
Place 1-2 teaspoons of the chicken mixture onto each crescent triangle’s broad end using a spoon. Encase the chicken mixture inside the dough by gently rolling it from the broad end toward the pointed end.

5. Arrange on the baking sheet: Arrange the filled crescent rolls, slightly apart, on the baking sheet that has been prepared.

6. Brush with butter: To give the crescent rolls a golden, flaky finish while they bake, brush the tops with melted butter.

7. Bake: Preheat the oven and bake the chicken crescent rolls for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffy and golden brown.

8. Serve: After the rolls are done baking, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool a little. If desired, garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Warm up and serve as an appetizer or main course.

Advice:

To enhance the flavor, you can use cooked spinach, mushrooms, or even bacon into the stuffing.
Add some chopped jalapeños or a dab of hot sauce to the filling for a hotter variation.
Prepare in advance: The chicken combination can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator. When you’re ready, simply put the rolls together and bake them.

These Chicken Crescent Rolls are a quick and simple way to make a tasty and comfortable lunch. Have fun!
