Buffalo Chicken Crescent Loaf


  • Buffalo Chicken Crescent Loaf (Or Wreath, depending on the shape you make it.)


    Ingredients!

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

Directions!

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 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. 2Open 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 (I used a Celebrating Home Hospitality tray found here  http://www.celebratinghome.com/sites/bekakopenski/PWPShowProduct.ashx?ProgramProductId=2466&ProgramCategoryId=86
  3. (Link is already ready to use to buy through me! So take a look around, shoot me an email with any questions. We have some amazing products, including awesome candles and the best Bean Pot ever!)
  4. 3Spoon 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.
  5. 4Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped scallions, cilantro, or other herbs, if desired.
 I noticed when we all dug into it that it was still a little doughy. I suggest adding 5-10 more minutes (if using a Celebrating Home stoneware item). Should work find on a regular metal sheet.

Served great with ranch!

Roast Chicken






 This Roast Chicken would make Samwise proud !


Now, for this perfectly, near heavenly Roast Chicken, you will need a Celebrating Home Bean Pot. And I will include contact information of a Celebrating Home's Designer who would love to hook you up with an amazing Bean Pot. (Plus, they come in different colors/designs. Heck yea!)




                                                                    Roast Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Once the oven is preheated : Put the whole chicken in the bean pot (take out innards first)
  • Pour 2 cups of water over chicken.


  • Pour entire bottle of Lemon Herb Marinade over the chicken.
  • Cover and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After that, then take the lid off and bake it for 30 more minutes.


(Pic above) is after it was finished baking. (Pic below) is when I took it out of the bean pot. It was so moist and juicy and heavenly that I almost could not get it out of the bean pot! It was just so awesome it fell apart at the touch!
BAM!
That is how you make amazing Roast Chicken! And such low maintenance too!



I made a big mess with this chicken. It was the first time I had ever used a whole chicken before. How was I supposed to know there was so much blood involved? Eww! 



Ok, here is the contact info on the bean pots and the designer who can hook you up!
