Alan’s Kitchen Tip

• You can unroll the remaining tube of crescent dough on a large sheet of waxed paper. You want to pinch together perforations. Pat dough to a 13x9-inch rectangle. Use the waxed paper to help lift and invert dough on top of chicken and spinach layers in baking dish, forming the top crust. Finally, remove and discard waxed paper.
