How to Make Everything Bagel Chicken Croissants
Start by mixing the shredded chicken with softened cream cheese in a bowl. Add the shredded cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until the texture becomes creamy and well combined.
Next, unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wider end of each triangle.
Carefully roll each piece into a croissant shape, making sure the filling is tucked inside. Place them on a lined baking tray.
Brush each croissant with melted butter and sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning on top for added flavor and crunch.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
