    Directions
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
    Assemble the roll-ups: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go.
    Bake: Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley if desired.
    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
    Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
    Tips and Variations
    Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep time.
    Cheese Swap: Try different cheeses like mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a unique twist.
    Add Veggies: Mix in some chopped spinach, bell peppers, or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for added nutrition and flavor.
    Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling for a bit of heat.
    Storing Leftovers
    If you have any leftovers (though we doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the roll-ups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method will help maintain their crispy texture.

    Food and Drink Pairings
    Crescent and Chicken Roll-ups are versatile and pair well with a variety of sides and drinks. Here are a few suggestions:

    Sides: Serve with a fresh garden salad, steamed vegetables, or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.
    Drinks: Enjoy with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light beer. For non-alcoholic options, a sparkling water with a splash of lemon or lime works wonderfully.
