Description
BBQ Chicken Bake is an easy and delicious family favorite that combines shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and cheese wrapped in crescent roll dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, corn, and carrots work great)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen mixed vegetables, diced red onion, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet of dough.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a pocket.
- Transfer the filled dough to the greased baking dish. Optionally, cut leftover dough into strips and lay them across the top for decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
