Looking for an easy party appetizer or weeknight dinner that will impress your guests? This Lightened-Up Spinach Artichoke & Chicken Crescent Ring is bursting with fresh vegetables, cheese, and rich creamy flavor — all packaged neatly in a tender, golden crust! This is cool-weather comfort food made healthier and faster!

By now you’re probably well aware that I love simple and nutritious recipes that please even the pickiest eaters. In fact, I consider it a constant challenge to come up with easy ways to squeeze lots of vegetables into my family’s diet in a short amount of time!

Thanks to a few good {and healthy} short-cuts, this fancy-looking crescent ring comes together in a matter of minutes. Since it’s delicious at room temperature, it’s one of those perfect party or potluck dishes that can be made in advance and set out on a buffet table for guests to enjoy.

Or, if you’re like me and you’re just looking for a family-friendly supper that you can make during nap time and have ready for hungry boys after soccer practice…then this is the answer to your weeknight prayers!

Fall offers so much fresh produce, so my goal when creating this particular crescent ring was to lighten it up by including as many veggies as possible, yet still maintaining a delicious variety of textures and flavors. Like I said, this is really simple and it comes together in just minutes!

You’ll start by combining the chicken, bell pepper, carrots, spinach, and artichokes in a large bowl.

Add in some shredded mozzarella cheese and a container of La Terra Fina Spinach & Parmesan Dip & Spread. Let me tell you: this creamy and flavorful dip is the KEY to this recipe!

This dip is:
✓ No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
✓ Gluten Free
✓ 50% less fat than the classic La Terra Fina dip
✓ 45% fewer calories than the classic La Terra Fina dip
✓ Trans Fat Free

Once your filling is prepared, then it’s just a matter of popping open a couple of cans of reduced fat refrigerated crescent roll dough and laying it flat on a baking sheet. Once you have placed all of your dough triangles on the tray, it should look like a sun! And we’re definitely not going for perfection here. Think “rustic” and don’t stress!

The filling is spread in a ring around the dough, and then you can just lift the points of the triangles into the center of the ring.

When it comes out of the oven you will have a golden brown flaky crust that wraps around the rich, creamy, veggie-packed filling!

Thanks to a few short-cuts from the La Terra Fina dip, the refrigerated dough, and a rotisserie chicken, this fancy-looking appetizer or weeknight dinner is ready from start to finish in less than 45 minutes {and it can be made ahead at your convenience}. You can’t beat that, in my opinion!
