Chicken and Sausage Holiday Wreath image

The idea for the crescent roll wreath actually came from a Pampered Chef party many years ago, but the filling is mine. Around the holidays I decorated it with fresh sweet basil leaves and pieces of sweet red pepper to give it a holiday look. It really is an appeitzer that impresses, and ssshhh don't tell anyone, but it is made...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tsp vegtable oil
6 oz bulk pork sausage, i use the breakfast kind
8 oz cream cheese, softened
7 oz leftover chicken diced, or use the pouch if you don't have leftover chicken
1/4 c each green pepper, and sweet red pepper
3 medium scallions, chopped, green parts too
1 to 2 medium jalepenos seeded, and diced
6 oz grated swiss cheese
6 oz grated mozarella cheese
6 oz water chestnuts, diced
1/4 c marzetti slaw dressing, or your fav
1 to 2 tsp worchestershire sauce
1 to 2 tsp hot sauce, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
2 can(s) crescent rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a skillet, add sausage, and cook until no longer pink.
  • 2. In a large bowl combine everything except crescent rolls.
  • 3. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • 4. Pre heat oven to 375°
  • 5. Use a pizza pan that has been lined with aluminum foil (no clean up) Spray liberally with pam before you start.
  • 6. If you use a pizza pan for this it will be easier to keep it in the round. Arrange the crescent rolls in a circle, long pointy ends facing out, short fat ends overlapping on the pan.
  • 7. Put the filling evenly all around the wreath on the widest part of the dough. A disher works great here.
  • 8. Fold the long pointy end back over the filling in the wreath, tucking in a little at the center.
  • 9. Not all the filling will be covered, that's what you want.
  • 10. bake for 20 minutes until golden, and expect to hear WOW when you bring it out. This never fails to impress.
