Ingredients
– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
– 1 cup marinara sauce

– 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating Chicken Parmesan Crescent Rolls is simple. Just follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine your shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until thoroughly combined.
3. Roll Out Crescent Dough: On a clean countertop, unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate it into triangles along the perforations.
4. Fill the Dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle, being careful not to overfill.
5. Roll Them Up: Starting at the wider end, roll each triangle towards the point, enclosing the chicken filling completely.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescent rolls, point-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will help them hold their shape while baking.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the topped crescent rolls for an extra layer of flavor.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
