Notes
- Customize the chicken filling by adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor and crunch.
- Swap traditional mozzarella with dairy-free cheese alternatives to make this recipe suitable for lactose-intolerant or vegan diets.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick time-saving option that adds more depth and richness to the overall dish.
- Ensure crescent rolls are evenly sealed to prevent cheese and chicken from leaking during baking, creating a neater presentation.
