Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make Alfredo Sauce (Optional)
If making homemade sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Stir in cream, simmer, then add Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
3. Assemble the Ring
Unroll crescent rolls and arrange in a ring on the baking sheet, overlapping the wide ends. Leave a center opening.
4. Prepare the Filling
Combine chicken, bacon, Alfredo sauce, cheeses, and Italian seasoning (if using). Mix well.
5. Fill the Ring
Spoon the chicken mixture onto the crescent rolls, creating a mound in the ring.
6. Fold and Seal
Fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling and tuck under to seal.
7. Bake
Brush with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
8. Serve
Let cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and slice to serve.
Cooking Notes
- Use leftover chicken or turkey. Shredded chicken works best.
- For extra crispy bacon, bake it separately at 400°F for 15 minutes.
- Crescent sheets are easier to use than rolls.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Variations
- Buffalo Chicken Bacon: Use buffalo sauce instead of Alfredo.
- Vegetarian: Substitute sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and peppers for the chicken and bacon.
- Cheesy Ranch: Add ranch seasoning mix to the filling.
- BBQ Chicken Bacon: Use your favorite BBQ sauce.
