Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab a baking sheet. Lightly grease the baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add in garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Carefully open the package of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. If the dough isn’t coming apart easily, gently press along the perforated edges to separate the triangles.
  4. Take a spoonful of the filling and place it on the wider end of each triangle of dough. Roll the dough toward the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you go.
  5. Arrange the rolls on the greased baking sheet with the point of the dough facing down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
