Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie works best)

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Olive oil, for brushing

Extra marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Roll Out the Dough: On a non-stick baking sheet or parchment-lined surface, unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate the dough into triangles as per the perforations.

        Fill the Dough: Spoon an ample amount of the chicken filling onto the wide end of each triangle, about 2 tablespoons. Carefully roll each triangle, starting from the wide end, and tuck the pointed end underneath to secure the filling.

          Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the stuffed crescents with olive oil to encourage a golden-brown crust while baking.

            Bake: Place the stuffed crescent pockets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the crescent pockets from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
