Ingredients:
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
Optional: additional shredded cheese for topping
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Roll up the crescent rolls, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go, to enclose the chicken mixture completely.
Place the rolled up crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Optional: sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of the roll ups for extra cheesiness.
Bake the Chicken Crescent Roll Ups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
