How to Make Baked Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Carefully roll the dough starting from the wide end toward the pointed end, sealing the filling inside.
Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls become golden brown and fully baked.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
