This is truly a family fave and is perfect for a busy night of rushing to soccer, swimming lessons or scouts. I put it together in the morning and pop it in the oven when we get home. —Karen Latimer, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Leftover shredded or cubed chicken and turkey are easy substitutions for the ground chicken. Ground beef works well, too.
  • Homemade pie pastry works great in place of the crescent rolls if you have a favorite recipe you swear by.

    Text Ingredients

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Press onto bottom of a greased 9-in. pie plate to form a crust, sealing seams well. Bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, green chiles, water and salsa; bring to a boil.
    3. Spoon into crust; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.
    4. Top with lettuce, peppers, tomato, green onion and pickled jalapeno. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
