Ingredients:
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Assemble the Brunch Ring:
- Unroll the crescent rolls and arrange them in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a sun-like shape.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly around the center of the ring where the crescent rolls overlap.
- Place spinach leaves and tomato slices (if using) on top of the chicken mixture.
- Fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the filling, tucking them under the wide ends to secure the filling inside and form a ring.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Brush the top of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg to give the ring a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake:
- Bake the brunch ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Serve:
- Allow the Chicken Club Brunch Ring to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
