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

Ingredients

1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 pound ground chicken
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices
Sour cream and additional salsa

Directions

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.
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.
Spoon into crust; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.
Top with lettuce, peppers, tomato, green onion and pickled jalapeno. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.

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.
