Buffalo Chicken Crescent Loaf

Submitted By Pamela Ann Gatlin Schulz

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 packet ranch dressing mix
½ cup celery, finely diced
½ cup onions, finely diced
½ cup Buffalo sauce
2 (6 oz) packets cooked chicken, very finely diced
2 tubes crescent rolls
½ cup ranch dressing (for dipping), optional

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine
cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, celery, onions,
Buffalo sauce, and chicken. (Or, if you'd rather, mix
it all together in a food processor.)

2. Open the tubes of crescent rolls and separate
each roll into four rectangles. Lay the rectangles on
a parchment lined or nonstick baking sheet to form
a loaf.

3. Spoon chicken mixture into the center of the
crescent dough ring. Fold the top of each crescent
dough rectangle over the chicken filling, pressing
into place to secure the dough all the way around
the filling.

4. Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20
minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly
before serving. Garnish with chopped scallions,
cilantro, or other herbs, if desired.

Tastes great with ranch!
