Cheesy Ranch Chicken Ring College Game Day Appetizer

The 2019 college football playoffs are set. #1 Alabama Crimson Tide face off against #2 Clemson Tigers for winner take all.

I confess my favorite college team didn't make the playoffs *cue tiny violin* but that just leaves me more time to plan my game day appetizers. At least Alabama has the same team colors as my favorite college team and besides I'd rather kickback and enjoy the game with my family and friends rather than racing back and forth to the kitchen between plays.

This easy Cheesy Ranch Chicken Ring appetizer is one of my favorite appetizers. It's always a crowd pleaser plus it looks like it took forever to prepare but it's super easy.

Cheesy Ranch Chicken Ring

Ingredients:

2 tubs of refrigerated crescent rolls (we use Pillsbury)
2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
1 packet dry ranch seasoning
½ cup cheddar cheese
1 8-0z package of cream cheese, softened

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
Unroll crescent rolls and separate into individual triangles. Arrange triangles on a baking sheet into the shape of a ring overlapping each other with short, pointy ends face outer edge.
Spoon ingredients – using an ice cream scoop – over center of ring
Carefully fold pointed ends and tuck over wide ends
Bake at 375° for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown
Cool completely before slicing and serving

I cooked these boneless, skinless chicken thigh tenderloins in my Instant Pot and they only took 15 minutes.

Dry ranch seasoning and cream cheese are a magical combination.

20-25 minutes later... the finished product

Variations:
Swap the dry ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese and cream cheese and use 1/3 cup pesto and 1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese for a Pesto Cheesy Chicken Ring.

Swap out the dry ranch seasoning and instead add a 1 cup of frozen broccoli (chopped or florets), a package of dry Italian dressing mix, for a Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Ring.

What are some of your favorite game day appetizers?

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing. The birds are singin'. The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up. So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound. It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year. Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach. 'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before. Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings. It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
