HOLIDAY CHICKEN & SAUSAGE WREATH

Steps:

On an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan, arrange triangles in a ring with points toward the outside, wide ends overlapping and leaving a 3-in. circle open in center. Press overlapping edges of dough to seal., In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients., Spoon mixture across wide end of triangles. Fold pointed end of triangles over filling, tucking points under to form a ring (filling will be visible). Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

CHICKEN CRESCENT WREATH

Fold points over filling and tuck under wide ends (filling will be visible). , Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Freeze option: Securely wrap cooled wreath in plastic and foil before freezing. To use, remove from freezer 30 minutes before reheating. Remove wreath from foil and plastic; reheat on a greased baking sheet in a preheated 325° oven until heated through.

PIGS IN A WREATH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and then place an 8-inch cake pan in the center to use as a guide for making the wreath.
• Cut each sausage in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 pieces. Cut the crescent rolls in half from the tip of the triangle to the center of the bottom (see Cook's Note). Roll up each sausage piece in a crescent roll piece. Arrange the rolled sausages around the cake pan flat-side down and touching one another. Remove the cake pan. Egg wash the tops of the rolled sausages to help them stick them together.
• Bake the wreath until the dough is golden brown and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the wreath cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the Parmesan mustard dip: Mix the sour cream, Parmesan, mustard and chives together in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slowly push the wreath off the parchment and onto a serving platter. Serve with the dip in the center.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE HOLIDAY WREATH

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine everything but sausage, oil and crescent rolls.
• In a sauce pan heat the oil and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, add to chicken mixture.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour to give the flavors a chance to marry.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Use a pizza pan for this step, it helps you keep the round shape.
• Unroll the crescent rolls. Arrange in a circle with the long pointy end facing out, and the fat sides overlaping.
• Spoon filling mixture on the widest part of each triangle. You will use about 3 rounded tablespoons per scoop. I use a disher for this.
• Fold the long pointy end back over the filled wreath and tuck under a little to seal in the center. Your filling will not completely be covered, that's just perfect that way.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE HOLIDAY WREATH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet, add sausage, and cook until no longer pink.
• In a large bowl combine everything except crescent rolls.
• Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Pre heat oven to 375°
• Use a pizza pan that has been lined with aluminum foil (no clean up) Spray liberally with pam before you start.
• If you use a pizza pan for this it will be easier to keep it in the round. Arrange the crescent rolls in a circle, long pointy ends facing out, short fat ends overlapping on the pan.
• Put the filling evenly all around the wreath on the widest part of the dough. A disher works great here.
• Fold the long pointy end back over the filling in the wreath, tucking in a little at the center.
• Not all the filling will be covered, that's what you want.
• bake for 20 minutes until golden, and expect to hear WOW when you bring it out. This never fails to impress.
