Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie recommended)

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: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for even cooking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the chicken is well coated.

      Roll Out the Dough: On a clean, non-stick baking sheet or a surface lined with parchment paper, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough. Make sure to separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.

        Fill the Dough: Using a spoon, place approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling at the wide end of each triangle. Gently roll the dough from the wide end towards the pointed end, tucking the pointed end underneath each pocket to securely encase the filling.

          Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of each stuffed crescent with olive oil using a pastry brush. This step is vital for achieving a deliciously golden-brown crust during baking.

            Bake: Arrange the stuffed crescent pockets on the baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

              Serve: Once baked, take the crescent pockets out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. For presentation, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve alongside extra marinara sauce for dipping.
