Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

  • I use frozen Tyson chicken strips. I did not thaw the chicken. It bakes as the rolls cook.
    • You can thaw the chicken in the microwave for a few minutes if you are worried about the cooking time.
    • You can use any fried chicken fingers that you have on hand.
    • I love the chicken fingers from the Publix deli!
  • My favorite store-bought spaghetti sauces are Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Marinara (green label), Carbone, Rao’s, and La Famiglia DelGrosso.
  • You can use any cheese that you like in this dish. White cheddar cheese, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese all taste great.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter for extra flavor.

    • Reheat in the microwave.

What to Serve with Chicken Crescent Roll ups

These chicken roll ups are great for an easy lunch or dinner on hectic weeknights. They also make a great party appetizer. I always have the ingredients on hand to whip up a last minute meal. Serve the rolls with the extra marinara sauce or some ranch dressing for dipping. 

To complete your meal, consider serving these mouthwatering delights with a side of spaghetti or garlic butter noodles. The pasta will harmonize beautifully with the rich flavors of the rolls. For a lighter option, a side salad with creamy dressing can add a refreshing contrast to the warm, cheesy goodness. And if you’re in the mood for some veggies, green beans or roasted asparagus can provide a healthy balance to your plate. These sides not only complement the flavors but also turn your meal into a satisfying feast.

  1. I think I'll pick up some chicken fingers in the store deli to make these super easy with less cooking time.

  2. My husband LOVES these. I just use the Kroger brand chicken fingers – a lot cheaper than Tyson and just as tasty.

  3. Made these tonight since i had everything on hand. Used chicken nuggets in place of strips so I adjusted cooking time a bit. These were so delicious and very easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

  4. Made these this weekend…as promised! The only thing I changed was to NOT dredge the nuggets in spaghetti sauce before wrapping them to keep a lot of crispiness. Then, we dunked them in warmed sauce to eat. SO FUN and SO EASY! These were such a good treat and a fun meal to go with a movie night at home! Husband has requested that I make these bi-monthly so he can just reheat for lunch whenever!

  5. I made these for dinner tonight and they were a hit. My husband had three. Both my boys had two and I ate one. Very easy, and really good. I did the Tyson chicken tenders and they were delish. Thanks for sharing. We loved them.

  6. Oh, this looks like the perfect weeknight meal! Looks both easy and delicious! 🙂

  7. Trying this for a fun Saturday night meal!! Hubs loves chicken parm and this seems way less messy! thanks!
