Chicken Roll Ups

Chicken Roll-Up Ingredients

Easily one of our favorite meals at my house, chicken roll-ups are sooo good and such a crowd pleaser! I made the cardinal sin of making homemade mac’n’cheese the other night (basically anything but Kraft) and Jett refused to even swallow it while Dash whined and cried while holding up a cup of the microwave single serve variation.

It was a disaster.

But that’s what you get with 4 kids, at all different ages.

But this recipe is tried and tested and it’s also one that the kids love to help out with!

Cooking chicken can take time and one thing I love about this recipe is the ability to make it in less than an hour!

If you don’t have fresh chicken in the fridge or don’t want to cook chicken breasts I have a tip that will cut your work and time in half!

Next time you make this, try using canned chicken from Costco or leftover chicken from a rotisserie chicken!

 

If you are going to do a gluten free version, I put the filling in a greased baking dish and use the Gluten Free Red Lobster Biscuit Mix as a crumble over the top! It’s so dang good. 

Once you’ve got these ready for the oven, pop them in for 30 minutes and cook them until they are golden brown.

Once they’re done, you can pour the sauce over and around the rolls when you serve them or reserve it as a dipping sauce!

Finished Chicken Roll-Ups

Mom’s Chicken Roll-Ups

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large cooked & shredded chicken breasts (1 1/2 c shredded chicken) you may also use rotisserie chicken or canned chicken if you're in a crunch! I usually do that.
  • 3/4 diced onion
  • 8 oz package cream cheese *can use chive + onion cream cheese and forego the diced onion.
  • 16 regular frozen crescent rolls
  • 1 can cream of chicken
  • 1/2 cup milk 
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 box crushed stuffing mix

FOR GLUTEN FREE:

  • 1 box GF Red Lobster Biscuit Mix If going GF, you’ll need 1/2 C of cheddar cheese.
  • 1 can GF cream of chicken soup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Mix chicken, cream cheese, and onion to make the filling. If you’re using chive + onion cream cheese, you can forego the onion!
  • Place 2 Tbsp on each roll at the wide end and roll up.
  • Dip each roll into melted butter and roll in the stuffing.
  • Place in greased 9×13 pan.
  • Cook in a preheated 350* oven for 30 minutes.
  • Combine cream of chicken soup and milk in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until thickened.
  • Pour over top of rolls when serving.

Gluten Free Directions:

  •  I take the chicken and cream cheese mixture and spread it on a greased pan.
  • Make biscuit dough and break apart pieces and spread over top of the chicken and cream cheese mixture.
  • Use GF cream of chicken soup and milk for the gravy!

Notes

**instead of doing onion and cream cheese, you could substitute for an 8 oz tub of Chive and Onion cream cheese.

    We make these all the time. I use italian bread crumbs instead amd also chicken gravy instead of the cream of chicken and milk. My kids beg for these.

    Holy moly!
    These were so amazing! They were very easy and for the most part these are ingredients I typically have on hand, so that’s a double win!
    These roll ups would be awesome with turkey substituted for the chicken and served at thanksgiving.
    Thanks a million Tara!

    Hi Tara!!
    I’m going to show my lack of cooking knowledge with this question. For the onion is it 3/4 Tablespoon or 3/4 Cup of onion? Or is it 3/4 of an onion, diced? If it’s the last option, what size onion?
    I noticed all of your other commenters just knew what yo do
    Thanks for your help!!!

    No worries! It’s a medium sized onion! And I use about 3/4 of it but you can use more or less depending on your taste!
