I was getting set up to make some crescent sandwiches when I thought about it and realized my husband always eats four. So, I thought about it some more and decided to do a cute crescent sandwich ring with four crescent rolls.
And then I thought about it a little longer and pictured my husband’s eyes rolling into the back of his head when I hand him a cute crescent sandwich ring. I did a basket instead. It’s like a sandwich, but about a billion times better because the bread is crescent dough, and it’s all baked and warm and delicious.

One of our favorite flavor combinations (our = husband + me) is barbecue and cheddar. You may have noticed, as it’s made several appearances hereabouts (and will definitely make more). So, of course I made a Barbecue Cheddar Crescent Basket.
I love making stuff like this because it’s a great way to use rotisserie chicken, leftovers, or chicken that you’ve got stashed in the freezer.

Barbecue Cheddar Crescent Baskets
Ingredients
- 4 triangles of crescent dough packages generally contain 8, so you can make 2 baskets per roll of dough

I picked up our Kraft Natural Sharp Cheddar Cheese, rotisserie chicken, barbecue sauce, crescent dough, and onion on a quick trip to Walmart. I love making warm sandwiches for lunch and dinner when the weather cools off. Pair it with a big bowl of soup, and I’m in heaven!
