This Chicken Roll-Ups recipe has dozens of variations going back over many years. It is easy to prepare and always a favorite of those who try it. It’s perfect for those busy days when you want something hearty and delicious but don’t want to stand over a hot stove.
You may find this similar to a chicken pot pie. That’s true! But, because of the way it is prepared, it is totally different. How does that happen? I have NO idea.
This basic recipe for Chicken Roll-Ups contains only 5 ingredients, but there are so many other options you can add to it. I’ll give you a few additions that you can add to make it even more delicious.
BASIC CHICKEN ROLL-UPS
The 5 ingredients for this basic recipe are:
- Chicken
- Crescent Rolls
- Cream of Chicken Soup
- Milk
- Cheddar Cheese
The chicken can be cooked specifically for this recipe, or you could use leftovers, a store-bought rotisserie chicken, even canned chicken. Whatever makes you happy!
Begin by shredding the chicken. Next, mix the soup, milk, and cheese in a medium bowl.
Spread 1/3 of the soup mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Separate the crescent rolls and place them individually on a clean counter or cutting board.
Heap a large spoonful of the shredded chicken onto the large end of the crescent roll. Spoon one tablespoon of the soup mixture over the chicken.
Carefully, roll up the crescent rolls. Place them into the baking dish.
Pour the remaining soup mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
VARIATIONS FOR THE RECIPE
The only hindrance to these variations is your imagination.
To the recipe, you could add:
- slivered almonds
- sauteed onions and/or peppers
- mixed vegetables
- green peas
- spinach
- mushrooms
- cream cheese (added to the chicken)
- broccoli
- sprinkle the top with your seasoning of choice
You’ve probably noticed this is two different pans of this recipe. One has the mixed vegetables and the other doesn’t. That’s how we “roll” around here.
Enjoy!
