This is truly a household favorite and is best for a hectic 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 house.– Karen Latimer, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 envelope taco flavoring
  • 1 can (4 ounces) sliced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 little sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1 small green pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and sliced
  • 1 green onion, very finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons marinaded jalapeno pieces
  • Sour cream and extra salsa

Instructions

  • On The Other Hand, in a large frying pan, cook chicken over medium heat up until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain.

    • Test Kitchen Tips

  • Leftover shredded or cubed chicken and turkey are easy alternatives for the ground chicken. Ground beef works well, too.
  • Homemade pie pastry works fantastic in place of the crescent rolls if you have a preferred dish you swear by.
