Quick and easy chicken Marsala Crescent Ring recipe
chicken marsala crescent ring recipe

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

Chicken Marsala Crescent Ring Recipe is a tasty twist on traditional chicken marsala recipes. This crescent ring is perfect for dinner or as an 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:

    This looks delicious. But we can’t buy crescent roll dough here. Do you have any ideas about a different dough I could use eg would shortbread work?

      I do not think that shortbread would work. Pizza dough would work.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
