Chicken Enchilada Ring...what Am I Doing Wrong?

[kaceyleigh2]

I just made the recipe...it's still in the oven...but I'm not sure what I did wrong...I have a ton of chicken mixture left over and it said to use 2 packages of crescent rolls and I could only fit 1. Does anyone have any quick tips on working with the cresent rolls? Do I cut them into small triangles or do I use the big ones that are already pre-cut?
Hopefully it at least tastes good! I'm making it next week at a show and I want to make sure I get it right! Thanks ~Kac

Chicken Enchilda RingI use two cans of crescent rolls and what I do is lay your first can of crescent on the large stone- lay in a circle with points of crescent rolls pointing out, then take second can of rolls and do a overlapping
of the rolls so what I mean is move them around till they all fit with points pointing out.Overlap at the wide ends. Then I roll the wides to seal them together and then put on my filling- yes sometimes I come out with more filling to.
Hope this didn't confuse!!!!
If your still confused e mail me and I will send you a picture of how to do it.

It varies when I do it... it depends greatly on the size can of cresent rolls... all of a sudden there is a larger size out there in the brand name... 2 cans of those is too much when I make it.

If you have access to an "All The Best" cookbook - there are step by step pictured instructions on how to do rings, wreaths, and braids in there - I could never get them to look right until I had this cookbook!

keep adding the filling in between the other mounds of filling.

Here are diagrams of the wreath and the braid. Hope they help.

I'm so glad you sent these pics... technically... other than wrapping some points from the center... what is the difference in a ring vs. a wreath? Or is there not really any difference?

Thank you everyone for the tips! The pictures really helped and I see what I did wrong with my triangles...Overall the recipe came out ok...it tasted good and it didn't look as bad as I expected...just a little sparse...I will have to try it again before my show...to practice...

If you use all the filling it will gush out, but won't be so sparse. Just serve on a plate with forks, nobody should mind lots of filling.

I have no idea what the difference is between a ring and a wreath. Someone from this forum emailed me the pictures a couple of weeks ago and I was able to modify them so that I could upload them for everyone to use.

Let us know how your practice goes. I'm guessing the more you make these the easier they will be.
