Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin and bones discarded)
1/2 cup jarred red enchilada sauce
1/4 cup sliced and drained pickled jalapenos, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
Kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Two 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
3 ounces pepper Jack cheese, cut in half (about 5 slices)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Salsa, for serving
Sour cream, thinned with water, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the chicken, enchilada sauce, pickled jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, garlic, scallion whites and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
  • Spoon the chicken mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Sprinkle Mexican blend cheese on top of the chicken. Then top with the pepper Jack slices. Remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the chicken mixture).
  • Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Brush the dough with butter and sprinkle on the scallion greens. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with salsa drizzled with thinned sour cream.

This dish is a bit too expensive for my budget. I think I'll try making a different type of enchilada next time.

I'm not sure why, but my enchilada crescent ring didn't cook evenly. The center was still raw when the edges were already brown.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of crescent rolls, so I used a different type of dough for the crust. It turned out great!

This dish is a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen. They can help you assemble the crescent roll crust and fill it with their favorite ingredients.

This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually make it with ground beef, but you could also use chicken or turkey.

I've made this enchilada crescent ring several times and it's always a hit. I usually serve it with a side of sour cream and guacamole.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I also like to add some black beans and corn to the filling for extra flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my enchilada crescent ring turned out a complete mess. The crescent roll crust was soggy and the filling was runny.

The enchilada crescent ring was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The crescent roll crust was a bit too dry and the filling was bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with a milder salsa next time.
