Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
1/2 cup of your favorite cheese, shredded (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup bell peppers, finely chopped (choose your preferred colors)
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: additional spices like paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
Instructions
Oven Preparation
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent the rolls from sticking.
Prepare the Filling
Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, chopped bell peppers, diced onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, and any additional spices you choose. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until everything is thoroughly combined. The cream cheese should be softened enough to mix smoothly into the other ingredients, binding them together.
Assemble the Rolls
Unroll the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines. Each triangle will become a delicious, stuffed crescent roll.
