Tips for Making Shredded Chicken Stuffed Crescent Roll Bundles:

Preparation:

• Shred the chicken: Use leftover rotisserie chicken, bake chicken breasts, or poach chicken in broth for a moist and flavorful result. Shred the chicken with two forks or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for even shredding.
• Season the filling: Go beyond just salt and pepper! Add spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or a pre-made ranch seasoning mix for extra flavor. Consider using a splash of BBQ sauce or hot sauce for a bolder taste.
• Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Lay them flat or pinch the seams to form larger rectangles, depending on your desired bundle size.

Assembly and Baking:

• Don’t overfill: A heaping tablespoon of filling per crescent roll is enough. Too much filling can burst during baking and make the bundles messy.
• Seal the edges: Pinch the sides and ends of the dough tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
• Brush for browning: Brush the top of the bundles with melted butter or egg wash for a golden brown and flaky crust.
• Baking temperature and time: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be mindful of the filling’s temperature to ensure it reaches at least 165°F (74°C) for safety.

Extra Tips:

• Add cheese: Shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan cheese can be added to the filling for extra richness and flavor.
• Get creative: Experiment with different vegetables like chopped broccoli, bell peppers, or onions in the filling.
• Dip it! Serve the bundles with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or honey mustard.
• Leftovers: Store leftover bundles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
