I have a daughter that is away at college. When she comes home, which isn’t very often, Chicken Ring is one of her top requested must-make meals while she is home. Because she isn’t able to come home when she wants she finally asked me how I make it, haha. Now she makes it herself at least once a week for herself and her roommates.

So needless to say this Chicken Ring recipe is so easy to make, even a college student can do it!

Chicken Ring

• Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• Canned Chicken
• Frozen Broccoli Crowns
• Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
• Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preheat your oven to 375°.

My go-to when it comes to frozen broccoli is one of those 10oz blocks of frozen already chopped broccoli. They are great. You just heat it up per the instructions on the back but only about half the time (be sure to drain the excess water) and dump it in the bowl to be mixed. No need to cook it all the way. You just want to be able to stir it in with everything else.

Half the time my store is out of my favorite frozen broccoli blocks so then I’m forced to get a 10oz bag of broccoli florets you steam. No big deal. This just adds an extra step which is how I made this recipe for this post. Cook the broccoli in the microwave per the instructions but for about half the time it says.

Once the broccoli is ready, either, chop it up into smaller bites with a knife or do as I do. Grab my mini food dicer and dice up about 3/4 of the bag a little bit at a time. If you have a big dicer even better. You can dice up the whole bag in one sitting. But I only have the mini, so several chopping sessions for me it is.

In a medium size bowl combine one 12.5 oz can of chicken (drained), one can of condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, 1-2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (measure with your heart), and your diced broccoli. Mix it all together and set it aside.

Grab a large cookie sheet, line it with tin foil, and spray it with some non-stick spray. Or if you have one of those Pampered Chef baking stones, doesn’t even have to be name brand, even better.

Open two cans of crescent rolls and start forming a circle, or oval in my case, by slightly overlapping the corners on top of one another. It’s easier to show you than explain it to you. Be sure to check out the pictures below. And yes Karen my counter is clean so it’s fine my crescent rolls flop over the edge.

Once you have your circle formed, start putting your chicken broccoli mixture all around the inner circle, fatter, part of your crescent rolls.

Now take all the draped over the sides of your pan, skinny, ends of your crescent roll and fold over your chicken broccoli mixture, tucking the pointy edges underneath your crescent ring.

Last but not least place your cookie sheet or baking stone of beautifully constructed chicken wreath in the oven at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are a nice golden brown on top. The perfect time for me seemed to be 18 minutes.

That’s it, friend. So easy, so simple, and so delicious.

Enjoy!
