📋 Recipe Details

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8 rolls

🛒 Ingredients

For the Filling:

2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works like a charm!)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup cream cheese, softened
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Dough:

1 can crescent roll dough (8 pieces)

Optional (but worth it!):

2 tbsp butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic paste)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

🥖 How to Make It

1. Prep the Filling

In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly combined and deliciously creamy.

2. Assemble the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
Roll them up, starting from the wide end and tucking the corners as you go. Place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.

3. Add a Garlicky Finish

Mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush this garlicky goodness over each roll for an extra punch of flavor.

4. Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

5. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. Get ready to watch these disappear in record time!

🌟 Tips & Tricks

Short on Time? Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or canned chicken to speed things up.

Cheese Lovers Unite! Add some shredded cheddar or Parmesan for an extra cheesy boost.
Freezer-Friendly: These rolls freeze well! Reheat in the oven for a crispy exterior.
No Crescent Dough? Puff pastry works too—just adjust baking time as needed.
