Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) crescent rolls
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C) for optimal crescent roll preparation.
- Create a savory filling by blending shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until completely integrated.
- Carefully separate crescent roll dough into 8 individual triangular sections.
- Distribute a hearty dollop of chicken mixture onto the broader base of each crescent triangle.
- Roll each triangle from the wide edge toward the pointed tip, ensuring the filling remains securely enclosed.
- Arrange rolled crescents on an ungreased baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between rolls.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry achieves a golden-brown complexion and cheese becomes visibly melted and bubbling.
- Allow rolls to rest for a few minutes after removing from oven, which helps stabilize the filling and prevents potential burns.
Notes
- Cheese Selection Flexibility: Experiment with different cheese types like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss to create unique flavor profiles and accommodate personal taste preferences.
- Protein Alternatives: Swap chicken with shredded turkey, pulled pork, or plant-based protein for vegetarian options, ensuring versatility for diverse dietary needs.
- Moisture Control: Pat chicken dry before shredding to prevent excess liquid from making crescent rolls soggy, guaranteeing a perfectly crisp texture.
- Make-Ahead Convenience: Prepare chicken mixture and assemble rolls in advance, storing them refrigerated and covered, then bake just before serving for stress-free meal preparation.
