Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp recommended)
- 4 oz cream cheese (plain or flavored)
- 1 small onion, chopped
Rolls
- 2 cans crescent rolls
- Butter or olive oil or cooking spray (for sautéing onions)
Instructions
- Sauté Onions: Heat a small amount of butter, olive oil, or cooking spray in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become tender and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface forming a large rectangle. Press the seams together firmly to seal the dough and prevent breaks during baking.
- Add Filling: Spoon a dollop of the chicken and cheese mixture onto each crescent roll section on the rectangle of dough.
- Fold Rolls: Bring two opposing corners of the dough over the filling to meet at the top.
- Fold Remaining Corners: Bring the other two corners over the filling to cover it entirely.
- Seal Rolls: Fold in the sides and pinch the dough together tightly to seal the rolls securely so the cheese does not leak out during baking.
- Bake: Place the prepared crescent rolls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure onions are fully cooked and translucent before mixing to avoid raw onion flavor.
- Press crescent roll seams firmly to prevent filling leakage.
- Baking time may vary depending on oven; check rolls after 15 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Serve warm for best taste, optionally with dipping sauces.
- Can add spices or herbs like garlic powder or parsley for extra flavor.
