Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends forming an outer ring.
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto the wide ends of the dough triangles. Fold the pointed ends over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to enclose the filling, forming a ring. Pinch the seams to seal.
Brush the melted butter over the top of the ring and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the ring from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
