Excellent and quick to make. Used left over chicken an added shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa to the serving plate. Will make this again for sure!

I am going to use chicken and cheese and a thick chicken enchilada soup. This sounds wonderful!

Instead of enchilada sauce, I used 1 can of salsa verde (drained), 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chiles (drained), 1/4 pkg of cream cheese, and the cheese. I mixed it with the chicken and then put it on the cresents. It was really yummy! My 2yr old even liked it!

This was absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I would definitely try and use the seamless dough next time though, the crescents pulled apart on my while I was trying to roll them. Will make again for sure!

This was tasty, quick & easy. My husband added more cheese to the top though, which made the top a bit doughy. If you add more cheese than the recipe calls for, I would suggest setting the oven at 400 & bake for 25 min.
