Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Then unroll your crescent rolls.
Mix together all other ingredients in bowl until well combined.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture into the center of each crescent roll, then fold up the edges.
Bake in a nonstick baking dish for about 13 – 16 minutes, or until golden brown.
