Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Crescent Roll Dough – 1 package (8 oz)
- Cooked Chicken, shredded – 1 cup
- Bacon, cooked and crumbled – 6 slices
- Ranch Dressing – 1/4 cup
- Cheddar Cheese, shredded – 1/2 cup
- Green Onions, chopped (optional) – 2 tablespoons
- Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Freshly Cracked Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions (if using), garlic powder, and freshly cracked pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful filling.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles. These triangles will hold the filling.
- Fill and Roll: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and bacon ranch mixture near the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough from the wide end toward the pointed end, pressing the edges firmly to seal so the filling doesn’t leak during baking.
- Bake Until Golden: Arrange the stuffed rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and make them easier to handle and enjoy.
Notes
- Use slightly warm shredded chicken for better blending with the ranch and cheese.
- Avoid overfilling the rolls to prevent bursting during baking.
- Seal the edges of the crescent dough firmly to avoid leaks.
- Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top before baking for a golden, cheesy crust.
- Use freshly cooked bacon and quality ranch dressing for the best flavor.
