CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CRESCENT RING RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 tablespoon softened butter; beat until smooth. Add chicken, chives, salt, pepper, milk and pimientos; mix well.
• Separate or cut dough into 4 rectangles. If using crescent dough, firmly press perforations to seal. Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto center of each rectangle. Pull 4 corners of dough to center of chicken mixture; twist firmly. Pinch edges to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops of sandwiches with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with crushed croutons.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick cooking sheet).
• Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
• Place 8 cheese halves on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring. Top with ham. Top with roasted red bell peppers, salami and capocollo slices over ham. Arrange pepper rings over top. Cover with remaining 8 cheese halves.
• Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little). Sprinkle with black pepper.
• Bake 23 to 28 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.
