Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a flavorful and creamy filling.
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you assemble the bundles.
Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles according to the perforations.
Assemble Bundles: Spoon an equal amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end toward the point, enclosing the filling inside the dough.
Apply Butter and Breadcrumb Topping: Place the rolled bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each bundle with melted butter. If desired, sprinkle the seasoned bread crumbs on top of each bundle for an extra crunchy texture.
Bake the Bundles: Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Remove the Chicken Bundles from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a tasty appetizer or snack!

Notes

Using rotisserie chicken saves time and provides great flavor.
Seasoned bread crumbs are optional but add a nice crunchy texture to the topping.
Ensure cream cheese is softened to mix easily with the other ingredients.
Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or honey mustard for extra taste.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
