Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish,

Method
 

Preheat and Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy. Stir in the can of cream of chicken soup until fully integrated.
  3. Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  4. Fold in the shredded cooked chicken and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly coated.
Assemble the Rolls
  1. Unroll the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into eight triangles.
  2. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up from the wide edge toward the point.
  3. Arrange the rolled crescents in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  4. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is hot and bubbly.
  5. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Use pre-cooked chicken for safety, as bake time is not sufficient for raw. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispness. For extra flavor, mix garlic powder into the melted butter before brushing.
