Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

1/4 cup sour cream, for serving

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure it’s hot enough to achieve that perfect golden brown finish on your crescent rings.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, black olives, and taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended—this will ensure every bite is packed with flavor.

      Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. On a lightly floured surface, arrange the triangles in a circular pattern, overlapping them slightly to form a ring shape. This overlapping will create a beautiful and cohesive crescent ring.

        Add the Filling: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the wider base of each crescent triangle, leaving the pointed tips free. Spread the filling out evenly to ensure consistent cooking throughout the ring.

          Fold the Dough: Starting with the wider end of each triangle, carefully fold it over the filling and tuck it gently underneath the ring. A good seal will keep the delicious filling intact during baking.

            Egg Wash: Use a pastry brush to apply the beaten egg over the assembled crescent ring. This will give your dish a glossy, golden brown finish when baked.

              Bake: Transfer the crescent ring to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed up and beautifully golden brown.

                Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut the ring into wedges for easy serving. Enjoy warm, accompanied by a dollop of sour cream on the side. If using, sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.
