Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Getting Started Heat the oven to 375°F (190° C) before °C) and lightly grease a baking tray.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, chopped onions, garlic powder, and black pepper and mix well.Roll out the dough into a crescent shape and divide it into triangles along the hole lines. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the widest end of each triangle, then top with Cheddar cheese.
Roll out the dough from the filled side into a half-moon shape and place each roll on the baking tray with the point down to prevent it from rolling up.
For a golden finish, brush the top of the buns with melted butter.
