Ingredients

• 2 8oz cans refrigerated crescent rolls (separated into 16 triangles)
• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup broccoli florets (finely chopped, steam in the microwave for 1 minute or frozen and thawed)
• 6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 egg (beaten with 1 teaspoon of water (for egg wash))

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) or 160°C if using a fan oven, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, softened cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
3. Open the cans of crescent dough and unroll, separating the triangles and place on the prepared baking sheet. Overlap the wide sides of the crescent roll triangles to form a ring. It will look like a sun.
4. Place a spoonful of the chicken and broccoli mixture on the wider ends of the triangle forming a circle. Roll up the dough from the narrow end, enclosing the mixture.
5. Lightly brush the crescent ring with the beaten egg. This will help turn it shiny and golden brown as it bakes.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent ring is golden brown and cooked through.
7. If desired, sprinkle a bit of dried parsley or Italian seasoning on top of the rolls for extra flavor and a more appealing look. Slice and serve the rolls warm.
