Blue Ribbon Recipe

Super hearty, these Chicken, Feta, Pesto, and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Croissants can be an appetizer or a meal. The pesto is creamy with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and Feta cheese mixed with savory bites of chicken. It's stuffed inside fluffy, golden brown crescent dough. A light dusting of Parmesan cheese adds a little extra saltiness. So yummy!
