Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls 😋

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and well combined.
3. If you’re using green onions or bacon bits, fold them into the mixture for extra flavor.

Step 3: Fill the Crescent Rolls

1. Take one triangle of crescent dough and place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture near the wider end.
2. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling.
3. Pinch the edges gently to seal the roll and prevent the cheese from oozing out.
4. Repeat with all remaining dough triangles and filling.

Step 4: Prepare for Baking

1. Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.
2. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
2. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving—this helps the cheese set slightly so it doesn’t spill out when bitten.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve these cheesy chicken crescent rolls warm, straight from the oven.
2. They pair beautifully with a side salad, ranch dipping sauce, or a simple cup of soup.

Pro Tips for the Best Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls

• Use cooked chicken with flavor: Rotisserie chicken adds an extra punch of seasoning and saves cooking time.
• Don’t overfill the rolls: Too much filling can leak during baking. A heaping tablespoon per triangle is perfect.
• Mix cheeses: A combination of cheddar and mozzarella gives a gooey yet flavorful texture.
• Make them ahead: Assemble the rolls and refrigerate for a few hours before baking—they still turn out beautifully.
