Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
Assembly
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and milk. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 rectangles. Press the seams together firmly so the dough does not open during baking.
- Assemble the bundles: Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each rectangle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal, forming neat bundles.
- Add finishing touches: Brush each bundle with melted butter to help them brown nicely. Sprinkle the tops evenly with seasoned bread crumbs to add a crunchy texture.
- Bake: Arrange the bundles on the prepared baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the bundles turn golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite side dishes like a simple salad or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- These bundles pair well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- For convenience, rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe.
- Consider adding cooked broccoli or spinach to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
