Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, separating into individual triangles.
  4. On the wide end of each triangle, spoon a generous amount of the creamy filling. Roll from the wide end toward the pointed tip, tucking in the sides as you go.
  5. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed side down and spaced out for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the rolls puff up beautifully and turn golden brown.
  7. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving warm, either on their own or with a dipping sauce.
