Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded – The foundation of the dish, the shredded chicken provides a tender and flavorful base.
- 1 can crescent roll dough – This classic baked good transforms the dish into a stunning ring shape.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – The melty, gooey cheese adds a delightful richness to the filling.
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled – The salty, smoky bacon complements the other flavors perfectly.
- ¼ cup ranch dressing – This creamy, tangy dressing ties all the flavors together.
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions – A fresh, crunchy element that adds a pop of color and flavor.
- 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper – Essential seasonings that bring out the best in the dish.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your crescent dough will bake to a perfect golden-brown finish.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. This creates the delectable filling that will be the star of the show.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it in a circular shape on a baking sheet, overlapping the points in the center. This will form the base of your stunning crescent ring.
- Spoon the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, then fold the points over the filling and tuck them underneath to create a ring. This technique ensures the filling is evenly distributed and the ring holds its shape during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to achieve the perfect balance of a flaky crust and a piping hot, melted interior.
- Remove the Bacon Ranch Stuffed Chicken Crescent Ring from the oven, sprinkle with the chopped green onions, and slice to serve. This final touch adds a fresh, vibrant element to the dish.

- The cheddar cheese can be substituted with other varieties, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack.
