Whether you’re planning a game night, a casual gathering, or just need something to spice up your meal routine, these rolls are sure to delight. Here’s how you can make them in just about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Directions

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). You’ll need a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Parmesan, green onions, bell pepper, garlic powder, dried basil, and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir these ingredients until the mixture is thoroughly combined and creamy.
3. Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
4. Roll Them Up: Roll up each crescent starting from the wide end with the filling, tucking in the edges slightly to seal in the filling. Place each roll seam side down on your prepared baking sheet.
5. Add a Cheesy Touch: If you’re feeling extra indulgent, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each roll before baking. This step is optional but adds a nice, melty texture and extra flavor.
6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving them warm. This little resting period helps the filling set a bit, making them easier to handle and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions

Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls are versatile and can be served as a standalone appetizer, paired with a light salad, or alongside a soup for a more filling meal. They’re best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven, when the crescent rolls are at their flakiest.
