Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- If you’re using green onions or bacon bits, fold them into the mixture for extra flavor.
Step 3: Fill the Crescent Rolls
- Take one triangle of crescent dough and place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture near the wider end.
- Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling.
- Pinch the edges gently to seal the roll and prevent the cheese from oozing out.
- Repeat with all remaining dough triangles and filling.
Step 4: Prepare for Baking
- Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
- 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
- Serve these cheesy chicken crescent rolls warm, straight from the oven.
- 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.
