Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Unroll crescent roll dough. Separate into triangles. Spoon chicken filling onto each triangle. Roll up from the wide end. Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 4: Serve!
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer, main course, or snack! A dipping sauce or side salad makes a great complement.
