Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, blend shredded chicken, cream cheese, diced onion, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wider end of each triangle, then top with cheddar cheese.
Roll up the dough from the filled end, forming a crescent shape, and place each roll-up on the baking sheet with the tip underneath to prevent unraveling.
For a golden finish, brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the dough is thoroughly cooked.
Allow to cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Variations & Tips:
Spice it up with diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Explore different cheeses, such as mozzarella for a gooey texture or pepper jack for added heat.
Add an herbal touch by incorporating a dollop of pesto into each roll-up.
Boost nutritional value by mixing finely chopped spinach or bell peppers into the chicken filling.
For an extra crispy exterior, sprinkle grated Parmesan on top of the butter-brushed crescents before baking.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat as needed for a convenient, tasty meal anytime.
Chicken Crescent Roll Ups aren't just a meal; they're a versatile canvas for culinary creativity, offering a delightful solution for busy evenings or when you crave something comforting yet uncomplicated.
