Ingredients
- 8 ounces Crescent rolls
- 4 ounces mozzarella cubed, or shredded

- ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning divided

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Prepare chicken patties according to package instructions. Ours took about 9 minutes in our air fryer at 375°F. Once cooked, cut them into fourths and set aside.
- Unwrap the crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Add one triangle to each muffin tin space.
- Add one basil leaf to each space followed by one piece of breaded chicken.
- Add one teaspoon of marinara to the top of the chicken, and follow with one piece of cheese.
- Sprinkle some Italian seasoning on each.
- In a small bowl whisk melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until combined.
- Close each crescent up (it is okay if there are spaces) and brush on the seasoned butter mixture.
- Bake crescents for 16-19 minutes. They will be golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow crescents to cool for one minute before removing them from the pan. Enjoy warm.
