Instructions

Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin.
Make filling. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, bacon, and Parmesan cheese until evenly combined. An electric mixer works well, but mixing by hand is fine.
Form cups. Unroll the crescent dough and press the triangles into the muffin cups to form small dough cups.
Fill. Divide the filling evenly between the cups, about ¼ cup per cup, until all the filling is used.
Seal. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching gently if needed. Small gaps are fine.
Bake. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
Cool. Let rest in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing and serving.
Serve warm.

Notes

Chicken options. Canned chicken, shredded leftovers, or rotisserie chicken all work. Use about 1 ½ cups shredded chicken if substituting.
Crescent dough. Folding the dough over the filling can be imperfect. Gaps will seal as they bake.
Resting time. Allowing the cups to rest briefly helps the cheese filling firm up.
Storage. Store cooled crescent cups in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes or microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
