#### Directions:
1. **Preheat the Oven**:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. **Prepare the Chicken Filling**:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The cream cheese will help bind the chicken and cheese into a smooth and creamy filling.
3. **Assemble the Crescent Rolls**:
– Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a flat surface. You should have 8 individual triangles of dough.
– Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Be sure not to overfill them to prevent the filling from spilling out while baking.
– Carefully roll up each crescent from the wide end to the tip, pinching the edges tightly to seal in the filling.
4. **Bake the Rolls**:
– Place the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter to give them a beautiful golden finish as they bake.
– Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
5. **Garnish and Serve**:
– Once the rolls are out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
– Serve the chicken stuffed crescent rolls warm, and enjoy them as an appetizer, snack, or main course. They pair beautifully with a side salad or dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or a spicy buffalo sauce.
