This recipe takes something as good as chicken enchiladas and turns them into finger food! These were perfect for dinner, by using the jumbo size crescent rolls.
They would also make great party appetizers by using the smaller size crescent rolls. – either way, you put them together just the same.

How To Make Chicken Enchilada Puffs
(full printable recipe at the end of this post)
You can mix up your seasonings…….use enchilada sauce mix and enchilada sauce, or taco. I happened to have enchilada mix and taco sauce, so that’s what I used this time.
Mix cheeses, enchilada seasoning mix, sauce and chicken in a bowl. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with no-stick spray.
Next, unroll crescents and lay on pan add one heaping tablespoon of chicken mix, near the center of the two short ends fold short ends over chicken fold the long end over and under, bringing it up on the other side (fold or twist any extra dough on top)

Turn chicken enchiladas into finger food! These delicious savory Chicken Enchilada Puffs are the perfect easy meal! *I usually use pre-cooked grilled chicken that comes in the bags near the lunch meat, leftover chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken. How To Store Leftover Chicken Enchilada Puffs: Place leftovers in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To Reheat: The chicken puffs are best reheated in the oven at 350° F. Put the leftover puffs on a pan, cover with foil, and heat for about 10-5 minutes or until heated through. If you prefer, you can warm them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until warmed all the way through. I do not recommend freezing these enchilada puffs.

So happy I found these on Pinterest!! They were easy and very yummy!! This is going to be a football snack for our family again!
Fantastic !! Might try these with shrimp next time.
Thank you for posting this recipe, I’m rarely able to cook something that pleases ALL my picky eaters! This one was a huge hit.
For everyone who reads this comment to collect some oppinions: I tried them out and I loved them! These chicken enchilada puffs are seriously amazing!
These are absolutely amazing! I’m making them for my boyfriend who is at work atm, so I put one puff in the oven to see how they’d turn out. I was blown away by how simple yet yummy they were!! I can’t wait for him to get home to try them when I pop the rest in for dinner(: Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll have to try the garlic ones next time(:
One container of crescent rolls has 8 triangles, but the recipe says yield 4. So would I need to double to recipe to have enough filling or are the amounts right for 8 rolls?
It yields 4 servings – 2 puffs per serving
it’s written as 1 serving = 2 puffs…….the recipe states 4 servings (or 8 puffs)
Have you ever made these and frozen them? Just wondered how they would freeze and reheat.
Can these be made with wonton wraps?
Can you use Pillsbury biscuits instead?
