Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large croissants, cut into quarters
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chives (if using). Mix until well combined.
