### **Step-by-Step Instructions**
#### **1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:**
– In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning (if using), and shredded cheese.
– Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well incorporated.
#### **2. Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
#### **3. Assemble the Crescent Rolls:**
– Unroll the crescent roll dough on a flat surface.
– Separate the dough into 8 individual triangles.
– Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill, or the rolls may burst open.
– Gently roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed end, encasing the chicken mixture inside. Pinch the seams to seal the rolls.
#### **4. Bake the Rolls:**
– Place the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
– Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to ensure a golden and flaky finish.
– Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
#### **5. Serve and Garnish:**
– Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes.
– Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color.
– Serve them warm and enjoy!

### **Tips for Success**
1. **Use Rotisserie Chicken:** To save even more time, grab a store-bought rotisserie chicken and shred it up. This makes the recipe even quicker and adds extra flavor.
2. **Add Vegetables:** For a more well-rounded meal, you can add cooked spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the chicken filling.
3. **Experiment with Cheese:** Swap out cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or a Mexican cheese blend for a different twist.
4. **Make Ahead Option:** You can assemble the stuffed rolls in advance, refrigerate them, and bake them just before serving. This is great for meal prep or entertaining.
