Ingredients

For the Filling

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 3 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For the Dough

• 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Optional Topping

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced ham, Swiss cheese, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.

Step 3: Arrange the Crescent Dough

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward like a sun shape.

Step 4: Add the Filling

Spoon the filling evenly around the center ring over the wide ends of the dough.

Step 5: Form the Ring

Fold each pointed dough section over the filling and tuck it underneath the center to create a ring. Some filling can peek through slightly between sections.

Step 6: Add the Topping

Brush the dough with beaten egg for a shiny golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if desired.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Let the crescent ring cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips

• Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for quick preparation.
• Mozzarella or provolone can be used instead of Swiss cheese.
• Add crispy bacon for extra flavor.
• Serve with honey mustard or ranch dipping sauce.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the dough crispy.
