Directions
- Step 1 To Make Puffs: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a cooking sheet or line with parchment paper, set aside.
- Step 2 In a large bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, green onion, minced onion, ranch powder and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Step 3 Open and unroll crescent dough from cans and press together two triangles to create a rectangle. Make sure the perforations on the triangles are pressed together, so the filling won’t spill out. You will have a total of 8 rectangles.
- Step 4 Evenly spoon the chicken mixture in the center of the rectangles. Fold each corner over the filling and seal to cover the filling. Shape into a ball. Repeat with all rectangles.
- Step 5 Once the puffs are formed, dip each into melted butter and then coat in breadcrumbs. Shake off excess. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining puffs.
- Step 6 Drizzle remaining butter on top of puffs.
- Step 7 Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Step 8 Creamy Parmesan Sauce: While the puffs are baking make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Step 9 Add flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly until golden and bubbly. Slowly whisk in the milk. Add the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper, stir until combined.
- Step 10 Stirring constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Once thickened, stir Parmesan cheese and turn off heat.
