– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Instructions
Creating these Easy Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure tasty results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure the rolls cook evenly and become perfectly golden brown.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Open the tube of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as per the package instructions.
4. Fill the Rolls: Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill them.
5. Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the crescent triangles towards the pointed end. Pinch the seams to seal in the filling.
6. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
7. Apply Egg Wash (optional): For a glossy finish, brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg using a pastry brush.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly for easier handling.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy these delicious rolls warm from the oven!
