Ingredients
- 2 (8-oz.) cans crescent rolls
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (170g)
- 4 oz. light cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup Frank's buffalo sauce (80g)
- 4 cups shredded chicken (400g) I used my Basic Shredded Chicken
- 1 cup fat free feta cheese (112g)
- 1 green onion, sliced plus more to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and/or spray with cooking spray.
- Add the yogurt, cream cheese and buffalo sauce to a large bowl and mix until combined. Then mix in the shredded chicken, green onion, and half of the feta cheese.
- Unroll both cans of dough and separate into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles in a ring on the baking sheet so the short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in the center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
- Add the chicken mixture on the half of each triangle closest to the center of the ring. Top with the remaining feta cheese.
- Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under the bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around the ring until the entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes
To make gluten-free: use a gluten-free crescent roll mix or sub for another gluten-free pastry dough.
To make dairy-free: use dairy-free greek yogurt, dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free feta (or cheese of choice).
To store: let Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring cool completely, then cut into pieces. Store pieces in an air tight container or wrap up individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
To freeze: wrap up the pieces individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in an air-tight freezer-safe zip-top bag. Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring will keep fresh stored in the freezer for 4 months.
To Reheat
If frozen, let defrost in the fridge overnight.
To reheat, I highly recommend cooking in an air fryer if you have one. I usually air fry mine on 390 degrees F for 5-6 minutes or until the outside is starting to brown. It results in the upmost delicious crusty outside while keeping the inside doughy and teeth-sinkable. IT’S OUT OF THIS WORLD!
If you don’t have an air fryer, then the oven or microwave would definitely work too. If you still wanted to get that crusty outside, you can switch the oven on broil for the last minute or two.
