Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package Frozen Chicken Strips (preferably breaded)
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1 can Crescent Roll Dough
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Bake Chicken Strips: Arrange the frozen chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy.
  3. Prepare Crescent Dough: While the chicken bakes, unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and gently separate it into individual triangles.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Cut each baked chicken strip in half. Place the halves at the wide end of each dough triangle, then spoon marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough around the chicken and cheese filling, pinching the edges well to seal each crescent roll to prevent leakage during baking.
  6. Bake Rolls: Place the assembled crescent rolls on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Finish with Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter, and optionally sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Using breaded frozen chicken strips adds extra crunch but you can substitute with grilled or baked chicken if preferred.
  • Feel free to swap marinara sauce with pesto or alfredo sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • Cheese alternatives like provolone or cheddar also work great.
  • If crescent roll dough is unavailable, puff pastry can be used for a flakier texture.
  • Brush with garlic butter or sprinkle fresh herbs for additional savory notes.
