A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring a savory chicken filling wrapped in golden crescent dough.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, lemon zest, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, and half of the grated parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on a baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward.
Overlap the dough slightly to create a sturdy base for the filling.
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto the wide ends of the dough triangles. Fold the points of the triangles over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to form a ring.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top of the ring.
The cheese will create a deliciously golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Check the ring halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
Letting it cool slightly makes it easier to slice and serve.
