What Is a Creamy Chicken & Swiss Crescent Ring?

This recipe starts with refrigerated crescent roll dough arranged in a circular shape on a baking sheet. The wide ends overlap in the center while the pointed ends face outward, creating a sun-like ring.

The filling is a simple combination of:

Cooked chicken

Shredded Swiss cheese

Softened cream cheese

Dijon mustard

Garlic powder

Black pepper

The creamy chicken mixture is spooned around the center of the crescent dough before the pointed ends are folded over the filling.

Then comes the fun part: brush the dough with beaten egg, add sesame or poppy seeds if you like, and bake until the entire ring is golden brown and cooked through.

That’s the part that gets everyone hovering around the kitchen!
