Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Chicken breasts |
| 1/4 | cup pitted ripe olives |
| 1 | cup shredded cheddar cheese |
| 1 | can green chilies |
| 1/2 | cup mayonnaise |
| 1 | plum tomatoes |
| 2 | limes |
| 1 | bag corn tortilla chips |
| 2/3 | cup salsa |
| 2 | tablespoons sour cream |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) to ensure it’s ready when your Chicken Enchilada Ring is prepared.
-
-
Prepare chicken mixture: Start by chopping the chicken breasts and olives using a Food Chopper. Place them in a mixing bowl.
-
Add ingredients: To the mixing bowl, add shredded cheddar cheese, canned green chilies, mayonnaise, and any desired seasoning mix for extra flavor.
-
Prepare tomatoes and lime: Seed and chop one tomato. Slice one lime in half. Using a Juicer, extract the juice from one half of the lime, measuring approximately 1 teaspoon. Reserve the other half of the lime for garnish.
-
Incorporate tomato and lime: Add the chopped tomato and lime juice to the chicken mixture, ensuring it’s well mixed.
-
Crush tortilla chips: Reserve 2 tablespoons of crushed chips for garnish. Add the remaining chips to the chicken mixture and mix well to incorporate their crunchiness.
-
Prepare crescent dough: Sprinkle the reserved crushed chips over a cutting board. Unroll the crescent dough and place it, sticky-side down, onto the crushed chips. Gently press down to ensure the chips adhere to the dough.
-
Arrange dough: Separate the crescent dough into triangles. Arrange these triangles, chip side down, in a circle on a round baking stone or a round pizza baking sheet, ensuring the wide ends overlap in the center and the points extend towards the outside, creating a ring shape with a 5-inch diameter opening in the center.
-
Add chicken mixture: Scoop the prepared chicken mixture evenly onto the wide ends of each triangle.
-
Shape the ring: Bring the points of the triangles up over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends of the dough at the center of the ring. Note that the filling may not be completely covered, which is perfectly fine.
-
Bake: Place the assembled Chicken Enchilada Ring in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Prepare garnish: While the ring is baking, cut the remaining tomato into 8 wedges. Cut the remaining half of the lime into 4 slices, then cut each slice in half. These will be used for garnish.
-
Final touches: Once baked, remove the Chicken Enchilada Ring from the oven and arrange the tomato wedges and lime slices between the openings of the ring for a visually appealing presentation.
-
Serve: Cut the Chicken Enchilada Ring into slices and serve with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping.
