Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Roll each crescent from the wide end to the tip, sealing the filling inside. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush each roll with melted butter for a glossy, golden top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
