Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups shredded chicken
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Binder and Dough:
- 1 (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) can cream of chicken soup
- 2 (8 ounces / 226 grams) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Blend shredded cooked chicken with cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a comprehensive mixing vessel.
- Gently unfurl crescent roll dough triangles onto a clean work surface.
- Carefully distribute a generous spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture onto the broader section of each triangular dough piece.
- Meticulously roll each triangle from the wide base towards the pointed tip, encasing the savory filling completely.
- Arrange the formed bundles evenly on a lined baking sheet, ensuring slight separation between each roll.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven and cook for approximately 22 minutes, monitoring until the exterior turns a rich golden-brown color.
- Remove from oven and allow the bundles to rest for 2-3 minutes to stabilize the internal temperature.
- Transfer to a serving platter, presenting the warm, aromatic chicken crescent roll bundles for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Prep cooked chicken in advance by using rotisserie or grilled chicken for richer flavor and time-saving convenience.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack to customize taste profile and add exciting variations.
- For gluten-free option, substitute crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or low-carb cauliflower wraps to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Keep filling slightly cool before wrapping to prevent dough from becoming soggy and ensure crispy, flaky exterior during baking.
