Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, finely diced or shredded
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or cubed
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tsp onion powder (natural)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (natural), or to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Dough
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Garnish
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: Start by finely dicing the chicken breast or shredding cooked chicken for a softer texture. Sauté it in olive oil over medium heat, seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper for full-bodied flavor. Once cooked through, stir in chopped smoked turkey bacon and plant-based cheese until everything combines beautifully.
- Roll Out Crescent Dough: Unroll your crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Gently separate the dough into triangles as per package directions, ready to be filled.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto each crescent triangle’s wider end. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end toward the pointed tip, ensuring the filling stays tucked inside.
- Bake Until Golden: Place each rolled crescent on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the warm chicken crescent roll ups to add a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use room temperature dough to allow for easier rolling without cracking or tearing.
- Do not overfill the dough to prevent bursting during baking.
- Lightly brush tops with olive oil before baking for an extra golden, crunchy finish.
- Use a sharp knife for clean dough separation and easier handling.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time to save time on busy days.
