Ingredients
  

Refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls (8 ounces each)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken rotisserie chicken is perfect for this!
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Open both cans of refrigerated crescent rolls. Separate them into triangles. If you have perforated crescent rolls, carefully pinch the seams together to form one large rectangle. If they are not perforated, you can gently press the edges to seal.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped onion, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined and creamy.
    2 cups cooked, shredded chicken, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  4. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the wider end (the base) of each crescent roll triangle. Gently spread the filling, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Starting from the wider end, tightly roll up each crescent triangle, enclosing the filling. Pinch the seams to seal them securely to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  6. Place the assembled Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the rolls.
