What Does a Creamy Chicken & Swiss Crescent Ring Taste Like?

Think of this recipe as somewhere between a creamy chicken casserole and a flaky stuffed pastry.

The filling is savory and creamy, with tender chicken and melted Swiss cheese throughout.

The crescent dough adds a buttery, slightly sweet flavor and becomes beautifully golden and flaky around the filling.

The Swiss cheese is especially nice here because it brings a slightly nutty flavor without overpowering the chicken.

Every bite gives you a little creamy filling and crisp, buttery pastry.
