    In a sauce pan put the undrained can on beans, corn and green pepper in, let it simmer covered on medium heat.
  8. 8
    When chicken breast is done cooking let it sit on a plate for a few minutes.
  9. 9
    Then I put it in my ninja blender, a food processor will work ok too, you want to shred the chicken.

    Put Shedded chicken back in the pan with 2/3 cup of water and the envelope of taco seasoning.
  11. 11
    Cook for a few minutes over medium low heat.

    Mix with a spoon.

  16. 16
    Flatten them out, add a heaping teaspoon of the chicken and bean mix to the cresant roll and roll them up.

    Be sure to seal the mix in well, you don't want it to open while they are cooking.
