Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/4 cup fresh chives or green onions, chopped (optional)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chives (if using). Mix until well combined and creamy.

      Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.

        For each crescent triangle, place 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese and chicken mixture at the wider end of the triangle.

          Starting from the wide end, roll the dough tightly towards the pointed end to form a crescent shape.

            Place the rolled crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

              Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

                  Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
