Ingredients
frozen chopped spinach
10 ounce (thawed and squeezed)
artichokes
13 ounce (drained (not marinated))
onions
2 tablespoons (chopped)
boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 ounces (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
fat-free cream of mushroom soup
2/3 cup
reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon
shredded Monterey Jack pepper cheese
1/2 cup (may substitute sharp cheddar)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup
refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls
2 (8 ounce) packages
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large skillet, coat the pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed spinach, drained artichokes, chopped onions, cooked chicken, cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
4
Unroll the crescent rolls and arrange the triangles in a circle on a 15-inch round baking stone or a round pizza pan, with the bases overlapping in the center and the points pointing outward.
5
Scoop generous amounts of the filling mixture onto the widest portion of each crescent triangle, using a cookie scoop for uniformity.
6
Carefully fold the points of each triangle over the filling, tucking them under the base in the center to create a festive wreath shape. The filling will be visible and create an inviting appearance.
7
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and flaky.
8
Once baked, remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and cut into wedges. Serve warm for the best flavor.
