1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until browned (5-6 minutes).
Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
Remove from heat and mix in cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Rollups
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Roll out the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
Roll tightly from the wide end to the narrow tip, sealing the edges.
Brush with Garlic Butter
Mix melted butter with garlic powder, parsley, and Parmesan (if using).
Brush each rollup with the garlic butter mixture.
Air Fry the Rollups
Lightly grease the air fryer basket or use parchment paper.
Arrange rollups in the basket, leaving space between each.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool for a minute before serving.
