Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)

1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced red onion

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce, diced red onion, olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the chicken is evenly coated with the BBQ sauce.

      Unroll the Crescent Dough: Take your can of crescent roll dough, and on a clean, ungreased baking sheet, carefully unroll it. Gently separate the dough into the triangle shapes marked on the packaging.

        Fill the Dough: At the wider end of each crescent triangle, spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the BBQ chicken mixture. Then, sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken filling.

          Roll the Dough: Starting from the wider end, carefully roll each triangle towards the point, creating a crescent shape. Be sure to tuck in the sides slightly to keep the filling from spilling out during baking.

            Bake: Place the rolled crescents on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about an inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the rollups from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm, and consider adding a small bowl of extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping!

                  Optional Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, serve the rollups on a rustic wooden board, garnish with parsley, and include small dipping bowls of BBQ sauce. This will enhance both the visual and culinary experience!
