Chicken Marsala Crescent Ring

This easy Chicken Marsala Crescent Ring recipe is pure comfort food! It makes a delicious dinner recipe or a hearty appetizer.

I never realized how much my family liked Chicken Marsala until I created the Easiest Chicken Marsala Recipe EVER! They kept requesting it each time I made a menu plan. Even though it is delicious, cooking the same thing over and over again is not a lot of fun for a recipe developer.

To satisfy my family’s craving for Chicken Marsala and my need to create new recipes, I started using the flavors in Chicken Marsala to create other delicious dishes like my Chicken Marsala Casserole and the Chicken Marsala Pizza which is in my cookbook, Prep-Ahead Meals from Scratch.

After a batch cooking session, I noticed that I had leftover cooked chicken and leftover mushrooms, but not enough of either to make the Chicken Marsala Pizza in my cookbook. My husband loved my Jalapeno Popper Crescent Ring recipe and asked if I had enough chicken and mushrooms to create a Chicken Marsala Crescent Ring and a new recipe was born.

This unique Chicken Marsala recipe can serve as the main dish for dinner or as a hearty appetizer recipe. Don’t let the long list of directions intimidate you; it really is easy to make. You can see how simple it is to make by watching this video:

Chicken Marsala Crescent Ring Recipe

Prep-Ahead Tip: You can make the chicken marsala mixture a day or two in advance and then put it inside the crescent ring on the day you wish to make the Chicken Marsala Crescent Ring recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup Marsala wine or dry sherry
• 1/4 cup milk

• 2 packages of crescent roll refrigerated dough
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over a medium flame.
3. Use a whisk to combine the cornstarch with the melted butter.
