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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. 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.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet of dough.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer the filled dough to the greased baking dish. Optionally, cut leftover dough into strips and lay them across the top for decoration.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
  8. Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
