Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
1 package crescent roll dough
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
4. Take a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture and place it on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
5. Starting from the wide end, roll the crescent rolls tightly towards the pointed end, enclosing the chicken filling inside. Place each rolled crescent on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down to help secure the filling.
6. Before baking, sprinkle the tops of the rolls with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
7. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
8. Once done, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. For a final touch, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if you like. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful chicken stuffed crescent rolls!
