Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 breaded chicken fingers (frozen) I used frozen Tyson crispy chicken strips
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese cut each slice in half
  • 1 (8-oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 tsp garlic powder for sprinkling
  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce

Equipment

  • chef knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
  2. Open the crescent roll can and separate the dough into 8 triangles on a clean surface.
  3. Pour the spaghetti sauce into a shallow bowl.
  4. Place one half slice of mozzarella on each crescent triangle.
  5. Dip each frozen breaded chicken finger into the sauce to coat, then place it on top of the cheese on the crescent triangle.
  6. Roll each crescent up around the chicken finger, sealing the edges, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Lightly sprinkle about 1 tsp garlic powder evenly over the 8 rolls (approximately 1 tsp total).
  8. Bake the rolls for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven.
  9. Top each roll with the remaining mozzarella half slice, return to the oven, and bake an additional 5–8 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crescents are golden and cooked through.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Frozen chicken strips can be used without thawing; they will cook inside the crescents.
  • You may thaw strips briefly in the microwave if concerned about cooking time.
  • Use any fried chicken fingers you prefer.
  • Any melty cheese (provolone, cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack) works well.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter before baking for extra flavor.
  • Recommended store-bought sauces include Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Marinara, Carbone, Rao’s, or La Famiglia DelGrosso.
