Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Cheese

  • 4 frozen breaded chicken strips
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into quarters

Dough

  • 1 8-count package of crescent rolls

Sauces and Seasoning

  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat and bake chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and bake the frozen breaded chicken strips for 10 minutes until cooked through.
  2. Prepare crescent dough: When the chicken is done baking, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
  3. Assemble chicken on dough: Cut each cooked chicken strip in half. Place one piece of chicken on the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  4. Add marinara sauce: Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken.
  5. Add mozzarella cheese: Top the marinara with two pieces of mozzarella cheese quarters per crescent.
  6. Wrap the crescents: Carefully wrap the dough around the chicken, rolling from the wide end to the pointed end, sealing the edges.
  7. Bake crescents: Remove the foil from the baking sheet and place the wrapped crescents on it. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
  8. Finish with seasoning: Remove from the oven and immediately brush each crescent roll with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on top.
  9. Serve: Serve warm with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh or homemade marinara for best flavor.
  • If preferred, substitute mozzarella with provolone or Parmesan cheese.
  • Ensure chicken strips are fully cooked before assembly.
  • Optional: sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated in the oven.
