Cans of Soft, Flaky Dough

I imagine I purchase 15-20 cans of crescent rolls on an annual basis and likely only one of those goes to basic crescent rolls. Some are close (chocolate filled crescents) or similar (pigs in a blanket) while many are used for the easiness of the soft flaky dough. This recipe uses two of the cans in a great way.

These were not bad but I felt it needed more. Next time I’ll add black beans and green chilies.

I used two large cans of chicken. It was a little too much, but I used it all.

I dumped the whole can of sauce in, not reserving any. As I had leftover chicken at the end, I put that on top.

If you can buy the rectangle sheets instead of the crescent rolls, do so, as it will save you an extra seam in each.

Chicken and cheese on top.

It was good, but will be better next time.

1. In 2-quart saucepan, mix chicken and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Roll up; pinch edges to seal. Place seam side down in 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
