Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
3
Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Grill or sauté the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let it cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of kosher salt, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Mix until well combined.
5
Chop the cooked chicken into small pieces and add to the mayonnaise mixture. Include chopped scallions, finely chopped artichokes, drained spinach, and crumbled bacon. Stir well until everything is fully coated in the mayo mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 16 triangle pieces. On a greased baking sheet or baking stone, lay out the triangles in a circular pattern, overlapping the wider ends to form a wreath or sunburst shape with the pointed ends facing outward.
7
Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the wide edges of the dough. Top with the cheese triangles, making sure they are evenly distributed. Add the remaining chicken mixture on top of the cheese.
8
Fold the narrow points of the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal, leaving some filling exposed for visual appeal.
9
Place the wreath in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
10
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
