Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup taco seasoning

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced tomatoes (seeds removed)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Sour cream, for serving

Salsa, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup after baking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with taco seasoning, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and sliced black olives (if using). Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and creamy.

      Roll Out the Crescent Dough: On a clean countertop or cutting board, unroll the crescent roll dough. Carefully separate the dough into individual triangles along the perforated lines.

        Fill the Crescents: Take about one generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture and place it at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be mindful not to overfill to avoid spillage during baking.

          Roll Up the Bites: Starting at the wide end, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed end, tucking in the filling as you go. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal the rolls and keep the filling secure.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled croissant bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion while baking.

              Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them until they are golden brown and puffed up, indicating they are done.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm alongside sour cream and salsa for dipping. Enjoy your mouthwatering Mini Chicken Taco Croissant Bites!
