How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled turkey bacon, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined and set aside.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Pinch the seams together to create a sheet.
- Cut the dough into 12 equal squares. Use your hands to flatten each square slightly.
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each square, then fold the dough over to encase the filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal.
- Place the filled rolls seam-side down into the prepared baking dish, arranging them closely together.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter for an extra golden, buttery finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!
