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.

I def recommend either baking the rolls before until almost done and lightly saucing the top and maybe just a tad on the bottom then when its set put more? Ours was half of this recipe and has been in 45 min still very doughy just turned up to 400°
We loved the recipe, but I couldn't find it again (until today) and tried by memory…forgot the seasoning and used too much soup and the dough was, well doughy…even after cooking a lot longer. My husband ate it, but I just gagged. Don't use too much soup (I had 2 cans plus milk and covered it). Some accidents just don't work. Will try to keep the recipe this time.
Made these Monday night and only used half the chicken filling..used the rest Wed night after husband said he wanted "those chicken crescent things again" 🙂
I have made this a few times and LOVE it. I want to make it tonight using leftover shredded barbeque pork, but I only have one package of crescent rolls. With wind chills in the negative 50's today I am NOT leaving my house so I'm trying to improvise. I do have a package of pepperidge farm puff pastry sheets and I'm thinking that might work. Any thoughts?
I think that might work – I've never tried it. Let us know how it turns out!
I just made this tonight and it was yummy! 🙂
WOW! Thank you so much for introducing this to me! I love Pinterest and I love this recipe!!
There is no way to Print this??
This was a HUGE hit at my house! My whole family loved it! Thank you! Turned our great! Added to family favorites! So easy!
Thank you Stephanie. (:
Kate – my favorite way to make cooked chicken is to buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco or Sams. If you don't want to do that, cook chicken on the weekend, chop it up and freeze it. Take the chicken out of the freezer in the morning and it will be thawed for dinner prep.
Ive made this recently and it was a huge hit at my house, the family loved it!! It made really good reheated leftovers for lunch too!
Question: since making it is quite time consuming, what's the quickest way to cook the chicken?
Thanks.
Heather- I've never used biscuits, but I don't see why they wouldn't work. Let us know how it turns out!
Can you use regular biscuits instead on cresant rolls?? Trying to avoid the store! 🙂
sounds great
I made these for supper tonight and my family said I need to make them again. Thank you for sharing your recipe I found it on Pinterest.
Found this on pinterest about 8 months ago and my family of 5 loves it! The left overs are great too. I serve with a side of spinach (frozen spinach mixed with cream of celery and a little bit of parmesan cheese)
