Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go.
- Bake: Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley if desired.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Tips and Variations
- Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep time.
- Cheese Swap: Try different cheeses like mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a unique twist.
- Add Veggies: Mix in some chopped spinach, bell peppers, or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for added nutrition and flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling for a bit of heat.
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (though we doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the roll-ups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method will help maintain their crispy texture.
Food and Drink Pairings
Crescent and Chicken Roll-ups are versatile and pair well with a variety of sides and drinks. Here are a few suggestions:
- Sides: Serve with a fresh garden salad, steamed vegetables, or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.
- Drinks: Enjoy with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light beer. For non-alcoholic options, a sparkling water with a splash of lemon or lime works wonderfully.
