Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
Cheeses:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
Dough and Seasonings:
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) crescent roll dough
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to a precise 375F (190C), ensuring optimal cooking conditions.
- Create a flavorful filling by thoroughly blending tender shredded chicken with velvety cream cheese, sharp cheddar, aromatic garlic powder, and zesty onion powder until ingredients are completely integrated.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent dough, meticulously separating each triangular section with gentle precision.
- Distribute a generous dollop of the seasoned chicken mixture strategically at the center of each dough triangle.
- Craft elegant bundles by delicately rolling each triangle, carefully tucking and sealing the edges to encase the savory filling completely.
- Arrange the assembled bundles on a lightly greased baking sheet, positioning them with ample spacing to allow even heat circulation.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and allow the bundles to transform into golden-brown delicacies, typically requiring 12-15 minutes of baking time.
- Once achieved a beautiful golden hue and crisp exterior, remove from oven and let rest momentarily.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the surface for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while warm, presenting these delectable chicken bundles as an irresistible culinary creation.
Notes
- Choose low-fat cream cheese and shredded chicken breast for a healthier version of these bundles.
- Seal the edges completely to prevent filling from leaking during baking, using a fork to crimp the edges tightly.
- Customize the filling by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor complexity.
- For gluten-free options, substitute crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or almond flour-based dough.
