Shanty Suppers: Chicken Enchilada Ring

Shanty 2 Chic

I originally found this recipe from Kelly's Korner.  I changed it to include only the things that we like, but it was easy and delicious!

Chicken Enchilada Ring

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (I use a store bought rotisserie chicken)
  • 1/4 cup chopped black olives  I'm the only one that likes these, so we leave them out.
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese 
  • 1 small can chopped chilies, undrained 
  • 1/2 cup sour cream 
  • 1 package taco seasoning 
  • 2 rolls of crescent rolls 
  • 1 small chopped tomato 
  • 1 lime (juice) 
  • 2/3 cup finely crushed tortilla chips

1. Chop chicken and add cheese, chilies, sour cream and taco mix. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice; add to chicken mixture. Reserve 2 Tblsp. crushed chips and add remaining chips to mixture.
2.Unroll crescent dough and separate triangles. Arrange on round baking stone or cookie sheet making a circle with wide ends OVERLAPPING in the center and points toward outside. There should be a 5 inch diameter opening in the center.
3. Spread chicken mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangle.
4. Bring points of triangles up and over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at the center of the ring.  Sprinkle with 2 Tblsp. crushed chips. ( I put shredded cheese all on top!)

 5. Bake @ 375 for 20-25 minutes. Garnish with tomato and serve with salsa and sour cream. 

Even my pickiest eater loves this recipe.   This is also an easy recipe to get the kids to help with, and in my experience that makes them more likely to try something new. 
Enjoy!

This looks and sounds soooo good! I will definitely have to give it a try in the near future! (except maybe with beef...I'm not the biggest chicken fan!) Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I need to try that. If you fix it before I do, save some for me!
