Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until fully cooked through and golden brown (approximately 7-10 minutes per side). Let cool before shredding into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and seasoning salt until well combined.
- Roll out the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
