For the Filling
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Cooked chicken, diced | 2 cups |
| Cooked ham, diced | 1 cup |
| Swiss cheese, shredded | 1 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | ¼ cup |
| Garlic powder | 1 tsp |

For the Crescent Ring
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 2 cans |
For the Dijon Sauce
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Mayonnaise | ½ cup |
| Dijon mustard | ¼ cup |
| Honey | 1 tbsp |
| Lemon juice | 1 tbsp |
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir until everything is evenly coated and well blended.
Step 3: Arrange the Dough
Open both cans of crescent roll dough and separate them into individual triangles. Place the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping the wide ends in the center while the pointed ends face outward. Leave a 5- to 6-inch opening in the middle to create a ring shape.
Step 4: Fill and Seal
Evenly spoon the chicken mixture over the overlapping section of dough. Fold each pointed end up and over the filling, tucking the tips underneath the inner edge of the ring to help hold everything together. A little filling showing through is perfectly fine.
Step 5: Bake
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and deep golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling around the edges.
Step 6: Make the Dijon Sauce
While the ring bakes, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Step 7: Serve
Allow the crescent ring to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Transfer to a serving platter, cut into wedges, and serve warm with the Dijon sauce for dipping or drizzling.
✨ Filled with creamy chicken, smoky ham, and melted Swiss cheese inside flaky golden pastry, this Cordon Bleu Crescent Ring is an eye-catching dish that’s as delicious as it is easy to make. The homemade Dijon sauce adds the perfect finishing touch for an irresistible appetizer or main course.
