Mix the Filling:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely chopped chicken breasts, sesame seeds, dried parsley, and onion.
- Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well blended, and all the flavors marry beautifully together.
-
Prepare Crescent Dough:
- Open the package of crescent rolls, but instead of separating them into individual triangles, keep every two triangles together to form a square. This will give you a total of four larger squares.
- Pinch the seam in the middle of each square to close it, creating a solid surface for holding the filling.
- Gently pat each square to make them slightly larger and more even.
-
Fill the Popovers:
- Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of each dough square.
- Fold the corners up towards the center, overlapping them slightly to create a secure seal around the filling. This should resemble a layered flower pattern on top of each popover.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Arrange the filled popovers on a lightly greased cookie sheet to prevent sticking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dough turns a beautiful golden brown and is fully cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the popovers cool slightly before serving, and enjoy these delightful bites as an appetizer or main course!
Tips for Best Results
- Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: This helps create a smoother mixture that’s easier to combine with the other ingredients.
- Add Herbs to Taste: While dried parsley provides a subtle herbal flavor, you can experiment with other herbs like thyme or basil for a different twist.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: These popovers pair wonderfully with a side of marinara, ranch, or a light garlic aioli for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy these popovers as a savory appetizer or a hearty snack—perfect for any occasion!
