Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, dill, pressed garlic, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly until well blended. Set this creamy mixture aside.
3
Unroll the crescent roll packages and arrange the triangles in a circle on a cookie sheet or baking stone, ensuring the points of the triangles are facing outward to form a ring and the wider center parts touch each other.
4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top side of the crescent rolls, ensuring to leave about 1.5 inches of the tips uncovered.
5
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, cheese, and drained cannellini beans, and mix until well combined.
6
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the center of the crescent ring, distributing it generously.
7
Carefully roll the tips of the crescent rolls over the chicken mixture, tucking and pinching the edges underneath to seal.

Lightly brush the tops of the crescent rolls with a bit of oil or melted butter to enhance browning.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crescent ring is golden brown and puffed.

While the ring bakes, prepare the fresh toppings by thinly slicing the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, and peeling and chopping the cucumber and avocado.

Once baked, remove the ring from the oven and carefully layer the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado in the center of the ring for a vibrant presentation.
