Easy Chicken Parmesan Crescent Twist Skillet

This skillet dish features seasoned chicken breast cooked until golden, topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, then wrapped in crescent dough and baked until golden brown. The recipe takes about 30 minutes and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the marinara sauce over the cooked chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern around the edge of a greased skillet, overlapping them slightly.
Fill the Center: Spoon the chicken and sauce mixture into the center of the skillet, then fold the tips of the crescent dough over the filling to create a twist.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve warm.
