Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Ring Recipe

I love making these sorts of quick, easy and delicious entrees for my family, especially on busy weekdays. This is one of those easy crescent rolls recipes that I can have ready to heat and eat for us in particular on those days we're all going in different directions. If you find yourself in the same position with a busy family schedule, I can tell you first hand that this crescent ring reheats beautifully. It also utilizes leftover roasted, poached or rotisserie chicken making assembly a cinch.

How to Make the Best Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Ring Recipe

• I recommend using original crescent rolls for this recipe, not buttery or honey crescent rolls.
• When arranging the crescent rolls on the pan, a ramekin placed into the middle of the pan serves as a guide to assist in arranging the dough evenly. Remove this from the pan prior to baking.
• You could use any variety of cheese for this recipe, to suit your taste. Cheese forms the stabilizing edible glue for the filling, and I've find that sliced cheese works best.
• Should you choose to use shredded cheese, you'll need three cups total divided into 1 ½ cups for the bottom layer and 1 ½ cups to sprinkle over the chicken filling.
• For a timesaver, the filling can be made several hours up to one day in advance, placed into an airtight container and chilled until assembly.
• You can serve this crescent ring alone or with a seven layer salad to complete your meal. It's also a tasty snack served with ranch dressing for dipping.
• Store leftovers in an an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single portions in the microwave.
