Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand or homemade)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Prepare Crescent Rolls: Open the package of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles as indicated on the package.

        Fill the Rolls: Place a generous spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the BBQ chicken mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle. If you like a bit of heat, you can add sliced jalapeños on top of the chicken mixture.

          Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the crescent dough up towards the pointed end, starting from the wide end where the filling is placed. Seal the edges and make sure they’re pinched to avoid leaks.

            Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled crescents seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Leave a little space between each roll to allow for expansion.

              Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the crescent rollups for an extra cheesy topping.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and flaky.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm as an appetizer or a light meal. These BBQ Pulled Chicken Crescent Rollups are tasty, easy to handle, and perfect for parties or family gatherings!
