Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, melted cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Unwrap the crescent roll dough and divide it into triangular shapes.
Step 5
Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Step 6
Roll up the crescent rolls, making sure to tuck the filling inside, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
If desired, brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter for a golden finish.
Step 8
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls achieve a golden brown hue and emit a hollow sound when tapped.
Step 9
If you prefer, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Tips and Variations:
Add cooked bacon or chopped ham to the chicken mixture for extra flavor.
Experiment with different herbs like dill or basil to customize the flavor profile.
Use leftover roast turkey or any other cooked meat in place of chicken.
Serve with a variety of dips such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing.
Utilize store-bought rotisserie chicken or canned chicken to save time.
