Scallions give a mild onion flavor without overpowering the dish, adding a bit of crunch as well.
Garlic powder and onion powder enhance the savory depth, making the filling irresistibly flavorful.
Salt and black pepper are essential for seasoning the filling, bringing all the flavors together.
Refrigerated crescent roll dough acts as the perfect, flaky blanket for our delicious filling, making these rolls easy to prepare.
Melted butter gives a rich finish and helps the sesame seeds stick.
Sesame seeds add a nutty crunch on top, offering a delightful contrast to the soft rolls.
These rolls make a fantastic appetizer or a light lunch when paired with a crisp green salad. They’re also a great addition to a brunch spread, alongside fresh fruit and a variety of cheeses. For a cozy dinner, serve them with a bowl of tomato soup or a hearty vegetable stew.
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready when you are. Grab a mixing bowl and toss in your shredded chicken, cream cheese, parsley, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or a spatula to mix everything until it’s all nicely combined. You want the cream cheese smoothly distributed so every bite is flavorful.
Next, unroll your crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. These are going to be your little dough blankets. On the wider end of each triangle, dollop a generous tablespoon of your chicken mixture. It should look like a little mound, but not so much that it spills out when you roll it.
Now, roll each dough triangle up, starting from the wide end. Try to tuck the ends under as you place them seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. This helps keep the filling neatly inside during baking.
Brush each roll with melted butter for a golden finish, then sprinkle over some sesame seeds. They’ll add a nice crunch and flair. Pop the tray in your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. You’re looking for a golden brown color and a delicious aroma.
Once they’re done, let them cool slightly on the tray before serving — if you can wait! That filling will be hot, so be careful not to burn your tongue in your eagerness to taste.
