Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked chicken shredded.
- 1 package 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened.
- 1/4 cup of green onions chopped.
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- 2 cans 8 ounces each of refrigerated crescent rolls.
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter melted.
- 1 cup of crushed seasoned stuffing mix or breadcrumbs.
Instructions
Prep the Oven
- Heat your oven to 350°F before you start. Lightly grease your baking sheet.
Mix the Filling
- In the large bowl, stir together the chicken, softened cream cheese, and green onions.
Season the Mix
- Add the salt and pepper to the chicken. Mix until the cream cheese is very smooth.
Fill the Dough
- Unroll the crescent dough. Place a large spoonful of the chicken mix onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll them Up
- Roll the dough up towards the point. Pinch the sides closed so the cheese stays inside.
Add the Topping
- Dip each roll into the melted butter. Then, roll it in the crushed stuffing mix or crumbs.
Bake the Tray
- Place the rolls on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until they are deep golden brown.
Serve it Warm
- Take them out of the oven and let them rest for five minutes. Serve them while the centers are gooey.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken. It is very juicy and seasoned, which saves a lot of time on prep.
- Soften the cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it mixes easily with the meat.
- Pinch the edges. Sealing the dough tightly prevents the creamy filling from leaking out on the pan.
- Use seasoned stuffing. Crushed stuffing mix provides a much better crunch than plain breadcrumbs.
- Add some spice. A dash of garlic powder or dried dill adds a wonderful Southern aroma to the filling.
- Don't crowd the pan. Leave space between the rollups so the hot air makes the sides crispy.
