Preheat your oven to 375ºF. This is crucial for achieving that perfect golden brown crust. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking.
Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. This ensures your cupcakes come out easily and don’t stick to the pan.
Remove the dough from the can of crescent rolls. Carefully press the seams to seal them together, then roll it out into an 8×18 inch rectangle. This forms the base of your cupcakes. Aim for an even thickness for consistent baking.
Cut the dough into 12 squares, roughly the size of your muffin cups. Press each square into the muffin pan cups, shaping them to fit snugly. The dough acts as a delicious cup for all the goodies.
Place 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of each muffin cup. This creates a cheesy layer that melts beautifully during baking.
Take the frozen popcorn chicken and place one piece on top of the cheese in each muffin cup. Ensure you distribute them evenly for a well-balanced flavor.
Top each piece of chicken with 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce. This adds moisture and flavor, making every bite delicious.
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Parmesan cheese on top of each cupcake. This will create a lovely crust as it bakes, adding both flavor and texture.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t overcook. The aroma will fill your kitchen!
