Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions optional
For the Crescent Rolls:
- 1 can 8-count refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup melted butter
For the Sauce (Optional but Delicious!):
- 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll.
- Roll them up, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling inside.
- Place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Make the Sauce (Optional but Highly Recommended!)
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the crescent rolls.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
