Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or finely chopped)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives
- 1 tablespoon milk
Dough and Topping
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ¼ cup melted butter (for brushing)
- ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, chopped green onions or chives, and milk. Mix everything until well blended into a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Bundles: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 rectangles by pressing two triangles together along the seams. Spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken filling onto the center of each rectangle. Fold the corners of the dough up and over the filling to completely enclose it, forming individual bundles.
- Prepare for Baking: Place each bundle seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the melted butter for a rich golden crust. If desired, sprinkle the tops with seasoned breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Bake: Bake the bundles in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the bundles to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy shortcut.
- Feel free to add cooked broccoli, shredded cheese, or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
- These bundles freeze well—just reheat them in the oven or air fryer to maintain a crispy exterior.
