Ingredients
- 2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re looking to switch things up, feel free to substitute turkey for chicken or use a different type of cheese based on what you have on hand. The beauty of home cooking lies in its flexibility, much like the fusion-inspired meals I love to experiment with.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Unroll the crescent rolls and arrange them in a sun-like circle on the baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping and the pointed ends facing outward.
- Spoon the chicken mixture onto the wide ends of the crescent rolls. Each triangle should have a generous amount of filling.
- Fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the chicken mixture, tucking them under the wide ends to form a ring.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through. The filling should be hot and bubbly.
- Let the ring cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Sprinkle additional chives on top for a fresh finish.
One of the things I love about this recipe is how forgiving it is. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect going into the oven; the flavors will more than make up for any aesthetic mishaps, much like those pies I’ve burned while answering the phone.
