Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Stromboli Ring

Bake a gorgeous stromboli ring filled with a delicious combination of cheeses, chicken, and spinach that’s sure to impress your guests!

I saw a stromboli recipe in a Cooking Light magazine a couple of weeks ago and it looked way too delicious not to try it out. I had never made anything like Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Stromboli Ring before. Even though it didn’t look perfect, it tasted delicious! 

We made this for dinner, but it would also be great as an appetizer or for a party. When I first cooked it, we ate it just how it was. When I ate the leftovers the next day, I dipped it in some marinara sauce and it was even better. Of course, I love marinara sauce, so I may be a bit biased.

The first two times I made this, I used homemade pizza dough and did a braid. It looked nice to start with but didn’t work well in the end. I’ve done braided dough with homemade hot pockets before. But since those stay straight it works. Trying to make this into a ring wasn’t easy. And I really liked the idea of a ring for something different. 

After two failed attempts, I decided to try using crescent rolls. I’ve seen many videos using this method. Well, there’s a reason. It is easy and looks good in the end! I would definitely recommend using the crescent rolls. 

While I used shredded chicken breast, you can also use pulled rotisserie chicken for this recipe.

Chicken and Spinach Stromboli Ring Step by Step

Ingredients

• 2 cans crescent rolls
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 5 oz spinach (chopped)
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1/8 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/8 tsp garlic salt
• 6 oz chicken breast (shredded)
• 1 cup marinara sauce

Preparation

Start by preheating the oven to 350F. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Add the minced garlic and spinach to the pan. Cook until the spinach has wilted.

While the spinach cooks, determine the size you want your stromboli ring to be. I like to use a small bowl and place it in the center of a piece of parchment paper. Use this as a guide to lay out your crescent rolls. The long side should almost be touching the bowl. Make the ends overlap all the way around with two layers until you form your crescent ring.

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. Then add the spinach and shredded chicken to the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt.

Spread the cheese and chicken mixture around the widest part of the crescent roll ring.

Carefully fold the crescent triangles over the cheese and chicken mixture. Tuck them under the ring as you go making sure you use your fingers to pinch seams as you go. 

Bake for about 18-20 minutes. The top of the stromboli ring should get a golden brown color. Once they are cooked, remove from the oven. Fill your small bowl with marinara sauce to dip and place it in the center of the ring for serving. Use a sharp knife to cut the stromboli ring into pieces. 

Chicken and Spinach Stromboli Ring Leftovers

Storage: Leftover stromboli ring can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Reheating: The best way to reheat a piece of the stromboli ring is in an oven or toaster oven. You can also microwave but the crescent roll will start to get very soft if you do.
