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
Dough & Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make 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 filling is creamy and well combined.
- Prepare Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 rectangles by pressing the seams together so they hold as one piece.
- Fill and Shape Bundles: Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the center of each dough rectangle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal, then shape each into a neat bundle.
- Add Butter and Bread Crumbs: Brush each bundle generously with melted butter to add richness and help the bread crumbs adhere. Sprinkle the seasoned bread crumbs evenly over the top of each bundle.
- Bake: Arrange the bundles on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the chicken bundles warm. They pair beautifully with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- These bundles pair well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- For a time-saving option, use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own chicken breast.
- Add cooked broccoli or spinach to the chicken filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
