Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Roll out the crescent dough on a flat surface, keeping the triangles intact.
On the wide end of each triangle, place a spoonful of the filling. Be careful not to overfill.
Starting from the wide end, roll the dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the edges.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm, possibly with a dipping sauce.
