Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sour cream and additional salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, salsa, taco seasoning, green onions, and bell peppers. Stir until well combined.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circle on a baking sheet, overlapping the wide ends and leaving the pointed ends hanging over the edge.
- Add the Filling: Spoon the chicken mixture onto the wide part of the dough in the center of the ring. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold the Dough: Fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling, tucking them in to create a ring. Brush the top with beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa on the side for dipping.
