Whoa..if you love Mexican Food, if you love easy recipes with an enormous flavor pay-off, sit down for this one! This super simple Enchilada switch-up will rock your world like never before! I know that my world will never be the same since I ditched the good old dry Tortilla for a buttery, soft and fluffy Crescent!
Where do I even begin? Honestly this recipe was born, once again, out of laziness! It was Enchilada night and I found myself with NO Tortillas in the house. Going to the store was out of the question since that would require me to actually take my slippers off and put shoes on, yeah..that wasn’t gonna happen! Good thing I had Crescents hanging around..yep, my laziness wins again!
Enchiladas, as you’ve always known them, will forever be changed once your fork sinks down into that cheesy, chicken filled, perfectly puffed Crescent, dripping in the best Green Chile Sauce ever, all covered in ooey-gooey Fiesta Blend Cheese!
What you’ll need for 4 servings (2 Enchiladas per person) double recipe accordingly for more:
1 Container (8ct.) Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
3/4 Cup Milk
2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese..I used Fiesta Blend
1 Can of Chicken Breast
1 Can of Cream Of Chicken Soup
1Can of Chopped and drained Hatch Green Chiles..optional
S&P to taste
A baking/casserole dish
Directions:
In a medium bowl combine the Chicken and 1 cup of the Cheese, breaking up the chicken and incorporating the cheese with a fork…set aside.
In another medium bowl mix together the Soup, Milk, Green Chile and S&P…set aside.
Lay out the Crescents and add about a tbsp. of the Chicken mixture to the wide end and roll it up…
Spread a small scoop of the Gravy mixture into the bottom of the casserole dish and place the filled and rolled Crescents in.
Pour the remaining gravy over the top of the Crescents, making sure to cover them completely…
Sprinkle the top with the remaining Cheese…
Bake it uncovered at 350 for approx. 25 minutes…
Orrr, until the top is golden and the Crescents are fully cooked through…
Serve it up nice and hot, a Margarita wouldn’t hurt either! ~Enjoy! 🙂
this is awesome!
Can you use beef instead of chicken. If you can what kind of soup. Thanks
I haven’t tried this yet Jackie but a can of cheddar cheese soup or cream of mushroom might work. I would think the cheese soup might be the best alternative though.
Yes, I would like to know this to.
We made this tonight!! Delish!! Thanks for the great recipe.
What a grand idea! These look delicious!
Please email me your different recipes
Oh dear me… I am in trouble!!!
OMGosh!! I Can’t WAIT to make these!! Sounds so easy and they look Heavenly!! Thanks for the recipe!!
You are so welcome! I hope you love them! 🙂
So I stumbled upon this and it looks great. My question is what if I used chicken breast not out of the can? Do you think the cooking temp and time would change? I am planning on making this tomorrow so I just wanted to know before I began 🙂
Fresh Chicken would be awesome..just make sure to cook it and shred it up BEFORE you move forward with baking it in the oven. Same cooking time/temp will apply! ~Hope you love them! 🙂
Look delicious! Anyone know nutrition value?
Omg these look fantastic, cannot wait to try this but I am going to subsitute the canned chicken breast for regular chicken…awesome idea and thank you!!
I actually prefer the fresh, shredded chicken as well..if time allows it is the better option! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Looks delicious, I can’t wait to make them.
AWESOME!!! Had this for lunch today and it’s a WINNER! 🙂
I’m all for easy and tasty! This moves to the top of my to make list, thanks!!
I just made the enchiladas and they were fabulous. I did have to bake 12 additional minutes. I used a 10 oz. can of chicken and I think a smaller one would have been better. What size can was on the recipe?
What size can is used in the above recipe?
These look so good!! I can’t wait to try them!
I fixed them tonight for dinner, and my family loved them.
These are in the oven right now – just 15 more minutes. They look so good!
Hope you loved them! 🙂
Thank you for the recipe! I “healthified” it a little with reduced fat crescents, light and active cream soup, reduced fat cheese and some leftover turkey breast. It’s in the oven right now 🙂
Brilliant..I hope you all enjoyed them! 🙂
Sometimes I’m a purist when it comes to New Mexico cuisine, especially enchiladas… not anymore, my friend! This is another genius recipe. I really need to make this, I can just see people’s minds blown over this recipe!
NEW Mexico cuisine? Enchiladas are a “cuisine” that originated in the COUNTRY of Mexico and drifted up to New Mexico, Arizona and California. In fact, having lived with this cuisine in all those states, I have to say some of the best I’ve found is in Tucson, AZ. Just sayin’! By the way, great recipe, Amy!
wow!! this is soooooooooooo good and easy
I made these today, but I put part of the chiles in with the chicken mixture, added sour cream instead of milk, and added a little salsa to the sauce as well. They cmae out delicious.
YUM!! 🙂
