Buffalo Chicken Ring

Ingredients

• 4 oz. Cream Cheese (1/2 of an 8 oz. package)
• 1/4 cup Hot Sauce
• 1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
• 3 Cups of Shredded Cooked Chicken
• 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
• 2 Cans of Refrigerated Crescent Rolls

Combine the cream cheese, hot sauce and ranch dressing. Add in the shredded chicken and cheese. Mix well.

I found the easiest way to shred chicken is to use either my KitchenAid Stand  Mixer or my handheld mixer.

            

Roll out your Crescent rolls on a pizza pan. 

Pro tip from being a Pampered Chef consultant... place your pizza pan on a wide can so that the edges of you crescent rolls can hang off the edge.

Scoop the filling evenly onto the crescent rolls. Tuck the tip of the crescent roll over the filling and into the larger edge of the triangle.

Bake 375 for 25 minutes or until crescent roll is golden.

Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:
1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups assorted fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas, kiwi, blueberries, etc (any fruit really)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place cookie dough on round baking stone, spread out in circle and cook 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.

For topping, combine cream cheese and sugar and spread over cookie dough, then start placing on the fruit.
FYI It works better if you start from the outside edge and work your way inward, unlike what I did working from the center to the outside edge because then I had to overlap them from the wrong side...

Chicken and Broccoli Ring - PamperedChef

12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (2 cups - about 3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves, I used two from my grocery stores deli to save time)
1 C. broccoli, chopped
1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, pressed
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/2 C. mayonnaise
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
slivered almonds

This is from the All the Best Pampered Chef recipe book... with some tweaks...

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Chop chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper and place into mixing bowl. Add garlic, cheese, and mayonnaise into bowl. Mix well.

Unroll the 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls; separate into16 triangles. Arrange triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on Large Round Stone with wide ends 4 inches from edge of baking stone. (Points will extend off the edge of the baking stone, I put a large can good under my stone to elevate it.) Roll wide ends of dough toward center to create a 5-inch opening.

Using Large Scoop, scoop filling evenly over center of dough in a continuous circle.

Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck under dough at center to form a ring. (Filling will show.)
Brush egg white over dough.

Sprinkle with almonds. Baked 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.
