Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Directions and Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), allowing for a perfect baking environment.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Swiss cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is blended to a creamy consistency.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles, laying them out flat.
4. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the triangles in a circular shape with the wide ends facing the center and the points extending outward like petals.
5. Generously spoon the chicken mixture onto the wide ends of each crescent dough triangle.
6. Gently fold the pointed ends of the triangles over the filling, tucking them underneath to form a beautiful ring shape.
7. Brush the top of the crescent ring with the beaten egg, which will give it that appetizing golden finish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is a golden brown color and cooked through.
9. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
