Ingredients
- 2 cans (8.5 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
3. Unroll the crescent rolls and separate the triangles into individual pieces. Press the perforations together to seal them.
4. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle.
5. Fold the sides of the triangle over the filling, then pinch the edges together to seal the crescent roll.
6. Place the filled crescent rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
8. Bake the chicken crescent rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Recipe Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add some diced bell peppers or chopped onions to the chicken mixture.
- You can also top the filled crescent rolls with some additional shredded cheese before baking for an extra cheesy treat.
