Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the bundles: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken filling onto the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll up each triangle starting from the wide end to form a bundle, making sure the filling is enclosed within the dough.
- Brush with butter and add topping: Place each chicken bundle on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each bundle with melted butter. If desired, sprinkle the seasoned bread crumbs evenly over the top of the bundles for a crispy finish.
- Bake the bundles: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add finely chopped herbs such as parsley or cilantro to the filling.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and enhanced taste.
- Seasoned bread crumbs are optional but add a nice crunch to the top.
- These bundles can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
- To make it low fat, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheese varieties.
