Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the filling
In a medium bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken, 4 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Separate the crescent dough
Open the crescent roll can and separate the dough into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines.

Step 4: Add filling and roll
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Tuck in the sides slightly to keep the filling inside.

Step 5: Brush and garnish
Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter if using, and sprinkle with dried parsley or sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation.

Step 6: Bake until golden
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
