Tonight’s dinner was a new creation, I concocted a buffalo chicken salad and stuffed it into a crescent roll ring. It was very very simple and delicious, if I do say so myself! I am going to make this post in a few steps, first I will share my chicken recipe and then the Buffalo Ring!
Baked Chicken
I use frozen, skinless, chicken breast that I cook right out of the freezer. By skipping the thawing step it is an easy dinner to make after work. This is a basic recipe, you can substitute any herbs and spices you like to serve with any meal.
Ingredients
- Chicken, I made 3 today (for three people)
- Herbs and spices, just enough to sprinkle over the chicken
- Cooking spray
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 375
- Coat pan with nonstick spray, place chicken in pan and spray with nonstick spray as well. You could drizzle with oil or some butter instead, using the nonstick spray is a little healthier for you and easier. Sprinkle with desired spices.
- Bake for 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 165 or higher
- Let sit for 5 minutes and serve whichever way you prefer
Buffalo Chicken Ring
Ingredients
- Chicken-baked anyway you like, diced into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 medium onion, small dice
- 2 stalks of celery, small dice
- Packet of ranch dressing mix (dry powdered mix)
- One package of softened cream cheese
- 2 tubes of crescent rolls
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 375
- Combine everything except crescent rolls in a large bowl, mix well.
- Lay crescent roll dough out in a circle. Spoon buffalo mixture onto the dough, fold dough over and pinch seams together.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to let the sauces settle. Serve with ranch or blue cheese for dipping!
