I love it so far, but it seems to be missing something that I just cannot put me finger on. Make it and tell me what it is. Chicken and Chile Cresent: 1 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped finely 1 block cream cheese 1/4 cup sour cream 3 tbls finely minced onions 1 tbls garlic powder 1 can, drained, green chilis 2 cans pillsbury cresents Ok, you mix all of your ingredients together and then put a tblspoon dallop on a cresent and then roll it up. Bake on about 375 degrees for around 8 minutes. It's ready to serve... Any input would be nice. Thanks, Kara Mon Sep 11 19:29:02 -0700 2006 39728 sillyme_03 1 1869067 maybe a little cheddar or jack cheese, corn and black beans? what 'y think? Mon Sep 11 19:44:02 -0700 2006 1869025 39743 wacoupar 1 1872456 i'd think that it could definitely use a pinch of cumin, no?

I would start by cooking the onions in olive oil or butter covered over a low heat for long enough to make them a nice even pale tan (and adding a bit of cumin, maybe some powdered red chile), then raising the heat and adding minced FRESH garlic, stirring that for a while, then adding the green chiles. Then I'd put in a half-pint of either heavy cream, créme fraiche or Mexican crema at room temperature, still over high heat, and stir and stir until it reduced and started pulling away from the pan sides. Taste for seasoning, adjust, and put onto your crescent rolls if that's what you have... Wed Sep 13 05:54:39 -0700 2006 1869025 11478 Will Owen
