Fajita Chicken Ring

This is an awesome recipe I got from a coworker. I made it with my students and they loved it! So many of them came back the following week telling me that they made it for their families. It is really tasty and super easy. This recipe is halved so if you want to make it for a large family, or if you want leftovers, I suggest you double it. :) You can even add random things in if you want. It is basically a casserole, so you can toss whatever you want in. I added black beans to mine, substituted light sour cream for the mayo, and used Cheesy Doritos as my chips. Yum. 

Fajita Chicken Ring

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

1 pkg. low-fat crescent rolls

¼ c. + 1 tbs. crushed chips

½ can of cooked chicken

½ can (2 oz.) green chilies

¼ c. chopped olives

¼ c. light mayo

½ c. shredded cheese

½ tbs. taco seasoning

½ tomato, chopped

1 tbs. lime juice

low-fat sour Cream and Salsa

romaine lettuce

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

   2.   Mix chicken, green chilies, olives, mayo, cheese, taco seasoning, and chopped tomato in a bowl. Sprinkle lime juice over mixture.

  3.   Crush chips. Add 3 tbs. of chips to chicken mixture. Sprinkle remaining 2 tbs. of chips onto a cutting board. Place crescent roll dough onto chips and press down so chips adhere to dough. Separate dough into triangles.

  4.   Arrange triangles, chip side down, in a circle on a baking sheet. Wide ends should overlap in the center and points should be toward the outside (like a sun).

  5.   Scoop chicken mixture onto the wide ends of the triangles. Bring points of the triangle up over filling and tuck under wide ends. (Filling will show through the sides).

  6.   Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  7.   Serve with salsa, sour cream and lettuce.
