Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Base and Binders:
- 1 can (8 ounces / 226 grams) crescent rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Carefully prepare the chicken filling by blending cooked chicken with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning until uniformly mixed.
- Gently unfold crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangular sections on a clean work surface.
- Distribute the prepared chicken mixture generously along the wider end of each crescent triangle.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wide base toward the pointed tip, ensuring edges are firmly pinched to prevent filling from escaping.
- Arrange rolled crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each roll.
- Liberally brush the top of each crescent with melted butter, creating a golden sheen.
- Optional: Sprinkle finely chopped parsley across the buttered surfaces for added visual appeal and herbal essence.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crescents transform into a rich, golden-brown color.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool momentarily before serving these warm, savory pastry pockets.
Notes
- Swap cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-packed version that keeps the creamy texture.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor without extra cooking effort.
- Customize the filling by adding diced jalapeños or green onions for a spicy kick and fresh crunch.
- Make these rolls gluten-free by using gluten-free crescent roll dough and checking ranch seasoning mix ingredients.
