Made this for my family and they loved it! Doubled it, I used 2 small cans mex corn, 3/4 of a large jar Pace picante sauce and 2 cans crescent rolls. I eyeballed the chicken to what lookes like a good ratio, about 1lb of per cooked chicken. Topped with Mexican cheese blend.

Yummy! I boiled my chicken thighs for 2 and a half hours with garlic and onion and seasonings and shredded it. My family loved it!
