Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Pulled Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.

      Roll out Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface. Do not separate the dough into triangles just yet.

        Create a Rectangular Sheet: Pinch the perforations of the dough together to create one large rectangle. This will help hold the filling better.

          Add the Filling: Spread an even layer of the BBQ chicken mixture over the crescent dough. Leave about 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.

            Roll it Up: Starting from one long edge of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough up tightly. Ensure that the filling stays inside as you roll. Pinch the seams to seal the roll.

              Slice: Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 8 equal slices.

                Bake the Rollups: Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rollups are golden brown and cooked through.

                  Garnish and Serve: Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with finely chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce for dipping if desired.
