Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Cooking spray or additional olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles along the perforated lines.

      Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

        Assemble the Bites: Take one triangle of crescent dough and place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture at the wide end. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken. Roll the dough starting from the wide end towards the point, enclosing the filling as you go. Place the rolled bite seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

          Top with Cheeses: Once all bites are arranged on the baking sheet, sprinkle the tops with the remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

            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.

              Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

                Serve: Enjoy the Mini Chicken Parm Crescent Bites warm, with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
