Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
Bundling & Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and milk. Mix well until creamy and fully combined.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 rectangles. Press the seams together firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Assemble Bundles: Place approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each dough rectangle. Fold the dough over the filling, then pinch the edges tightly to seal. Shape each into a neat bundle.
- Add Topping: Brush each chicken bundle with melted butter. Sprinkle the tops evenly with seasoned bread crumbs for a crunchy golden finish.
- Bake: Arrange the bundles on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove bundles from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm paired with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Pairs well with simple side salads or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut for the shredded chicken.
- Add cooked broccoli or spinach to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
