Pin This RecipeWe both really liked this dish. It is a kicked-up version of my usual Chicken Rollup dish that we love. I got 14 rolls out of this recipe. I made the whole recipe so I could eat leftovers while Chicken Legs is out of town. I would cut the recipe in half if I didn’t want leftovers.
This is a quick weeknight meal. You can make the chicken mixture ahead of time and just scoop and roll when you get home from work.

Great recipe! I followed it to a T. Even my picky nine-year-old loved this recipe. I’m making it again tonight and decided to print the recipe off instead of using my phone’s screen. This recipe is going into my cook-book keeper of all my favorites!
I loved it!! Hubbie loved it!! Best friend and Hubbie loved it! 👍🏻 It’s a definite keeper!! 🤣
My husband and I have been married for eight years and I’m still convinced to this day that this recipe is the reason he married me. I’ve made it for him for 10+ years and it’s our go-to on good days, bad days, sad days, and everything in between. He’s had a rough few months at work as an essential employee (bet you didn’t create this recipe with a 2020 pandemic in mind) and I made it tonight and he was SO excited. I use three 5 ounce cans of chicken (super lazy – sorry!) and it comes out perfect every time. This recipe will forever be a delicious, great memory for us. 🙂
Has anyone tried to freeze the leftovers?
the leftovers should freeze just fine.
About how much of the chicken mixture per triangle so I can plan to come out even?
Made this for dinner tonight with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Had to use about 1/4 cup fresh minced onion since I didn't have onion flakes. Delicious! Even earned rave reviews from my somewhat picky husband and son.
Ended up adding about 15 minutes to the cook time to make the crescent rolls cooked rather than doughy.
I actually do ALL of the soup mixture on the bottom and none on the top — the rolls brown up like "regular" crescent rolls and are the perfect texture. I top with cheddar cheese about ten minutes before it's done baking. Just a suggestion for some of you who are having problems with it being too doughy!
Found you on Pinterest; first time making it and it was WONDERFUL!!!!
