Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, stir together the cooked chicken, bacon, ranch dressing, cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until thick and evenly combined.

Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles. Gently stretch each triangle just enough to make room for the filling without tearing it.

Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter if using. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until puffed, golden brown, and hot in the center.
