Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
3
Snip fresh parsley and finely chop the onion; add both to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until well combined.
4
In a large mixing bowl (about 2 quarts), flake the drained chicken with a fork and set aside.
5
Chop the cooked bacon and add it to the chicken along with 3/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese and 1/3 cup of the mayonnaise mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.
6
On a clean surface, unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into 16 triangles.
7
Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on a 13-inch (or 15-inch) baking stone, placing the wide ends of the triangles to overlap in the center while the points extend outward to form a ring (ensure there is a 5-inch diameter opening in the center).
8
Spoon the prepared chicken mixture evenly onto the wide ends of each triangle.
9
Fold the outer points of the triangle over the filling and tuck them under the wide part at the center of the ring for a rustic look, leaving some filling exposed.
10
Slice the tomatoes thinly, then cut each slice in half. Place one tomato half over the filling in each gap between the petals of the ring.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dough is deep golden brown.
12
Remove the ring from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Swiss cheese over the top.
13
Using a v-shaped cutter, neatly cut the bell pepper. Separate the halves, remove the seeds and membranes, and fill them with the remaining mayonnaise mixture. Position this filled pepper in the center of the crescent ring.
14
Finally, arrange shredded lettuce around the base of the bell pepper to present a fresh and colorful finish.
