- Prep Time 15 min
- Total 45 min
- Ingredients 4
- Servings 8
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (from 20-oz package), cooked and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon basil pesto (from 7-oz container)
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
- 2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix cooked chicken, 1/3 cup of the pesto and the cheese.
-
Step2Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
-
Step3Spoon chicken mixture on the half of each rectangle closest to center of ring.
-
Step4Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
-
Step5Brush remaining 1 tablespoon pesto on top of dough ring. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.
