Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Dough
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces. If chicken is not cooked, add it to the same pan, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook thoroughly and allow the chicken to cool slightly.
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, chopped smoked turkey bacon, fresh spinach leaves, and shredded plant-based cheese. Add a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and gently stir to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate into triangles. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle and carefully roll up toward the pointed end, sealing the filling inside.
- Bake: Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best melty and savory experience.
Notes
- Use fresh crescent roll dough from the store for best texture.
- Do not overfill the rolls to avoid leaking during baking.
- Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even browning and crispiness.
- Allow rolls to rest a couple of minutes after baking to set the filling and avoid burning your mouth.
- Combine two types of plant-based cheese for creamier, more complex flavor.
