Ingredients needed for Chicken Cheese Crescent Wreath:
Crescent Dough: Buttery, lightly flaky and sturdy enough to hold the filling without falling apart. Find our Crescent Dough recipe Here!!
Vegetables: Finely chopped onion adds mild sweetness, while jalapeno brings a subtle spicy kick.
Cheese: Mozzarella Melts smoothly and cheddar can be used for a richer, sharper flavour.
Chicken: Minced chicken cooks evenly and stays tender throughout.
Seasonings: A mix of salt, pepper, paprika and chicken bouillon boosts the savory taste.
Herbs: Dried oregano and fresh parsley add brightness and a fresh herbal finish.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Once cooled, place leftover chicken ring portions in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. They’ll keep well for up to three days. Storing longer can cause the crescent dough to lose its texture and become overly soft.
Freezing: This chicken ring is freezer-friendly and great for make-ahead meals. Slice the ring and lay the pieces in a single layer on a baking tray. Freeze until firm, then move the slices into a freezer -safe bag or container. Label with the date and sore for up to three months. Alternatively, you can freeze the whole ring, let it cool completely, wrap it securely in foil, and freeze.
Reheating: To reheat refrigerator portions, cover and warm in a 350ºF oven for 15-20 minutes. Uncover for the last few minutes to refresh the crust.
Can you make Chicken Cheese Crescent Wreath ahead of time?
You can prep parts of this chicken ring in advance, but it’s best assembled right before baking. The cooked chicken and vegetable filling can be prepared earlier and kept covered in the refrigerator. It’s usually made a few hours ahead, though it will hold well for up to 24 hours, making final assembly quick and easy when you’re ready to bake.
