Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted, divided
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 4 cups cooked chicken chopped
  • 2 refrigerated crescent roll tubes (8-ounce) tubes
  • 1/2 cup seasoned stuffing crushed (Stovetop or Pepperidge Farm)
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • hand-held electric mixer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons melted butter, the milk, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth.
  3. Fold the chopped cooked chicken and sliced green onions into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
  4. Unroll both tubes of crescent roll dough and separate into 8 rectangles; press the perforations to seal and gently stretch each into a square.
  5. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the 8 dough pieces, placing the filling in the center of each square.
  6. Bring the edges of each dough square up over the filling to form a bundle and pinch the seams to seal securely.
  7. Place the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  8. Sprinkle the tops with the crushed seasoned stuffing and grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through; remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Unbaked bundles can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid.
  • Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
  • Increase baking time if baking from partially frozen.
