Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large round pan, or cookie sheet, with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough sheets and spread each one with the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle the chicken over the cream cheese, and top with spinach leaves.
- Roll the crescent dough back up, and cut the rolls into 4 pieces. Then cut each piece into fourths, to make thin pinwheels.
- Place 11 to 12 pinwheels in a circle in the middle of the prepared baking sheet, overlapping them. Use the remaining pinwheels to create a second ring, make sure to overlap each one. (See the step-by-step photos above in the post for guidance.)
- Place the wreath in the preheated oven, and bake for 20 - 24 minutes, or until the pinwheels are lightly golden in color.
- Cut small stars or other desired shapes from the red bell pepper. Decorate the wreath with rosemary sprigs and bell pepper shapes. Serve immediately.
