Ingredients
To make these irresistible chicken-stuffed crescent rolls, you’ll need:
For the Rolls
- 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls

- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
- 1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
- Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into triangles.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.

Step 4: Add Toppings (Optional)
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
