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

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Sour cream and salsa, for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and sliced black olives (if using). Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

      Roll Out the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles as per the perforations.

        Fill the Crescents: Take a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture and place it at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill.

          Roll Up the Bites: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up the triangles towards the pointed end. Pinch the edges to seal, ensuring the filling remains intact.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled croissant bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the croissant bites are golden brown and flaky.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side. Enjoy your delicious Mini Chicken Taco Croissant Bites!
