Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, half of the mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

      Roll Out the Crescent Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated edges.

        Assemble the Bites: On each triangle of dough, place a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture at the wider end. Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken filling, then fold the dough over to enclose it. Pinch the edges to seal.

          Add Cheese: Place each filled crescent bite on the prepared baking sheet. Once all bites are assembled, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of each one.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent bites are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

              Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
