Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken 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 the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto each triangle. Roll up from the wide end and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat.
Step 3: Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
