Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Baking sheets
  • Oven
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pcs. chicken breasts large, cooked and shredded (about 3 cups)
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1 block cream cheese 8 ounces
  • 1 can crescent roll dough 8 rolls
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients for the chicken mixture in one large mixing bowl. That includes chicken, milk, cream cheese, pepper, and salt. Mix and combine everything thoroughly. Once mixed properly, set the chicken mixture and filling to the side.
  • Open up the can of crescent roll dough. Spread out the dough and separate it by the perforated triangles.
  • Stuff the triangles with a spoonful of the chicken mixture, then fold the filled-up crescent dough. Start by folding the left side in, then follow up with the right side. After, roll the crescent bundle towards the long point and finish by pinching the edges to close it up.
  • Dip the chicken rolls into melted butter and then into the bowl of bread crumbs.
  • Place the rolled-up crescent dough on a baking sheet. Make sure that there is a bit of space between the rolls.
  • Bake the roll until the chicken inside is hot and the outside of the dough is golden brown. Baking the dough could last about 20 minutes.
  • Serve with creamy white sauce or gravy.

Notes

  • Try sprinkling some ham or bacon pieces into the filling mixture. It should add more flavor to the final dish.
 
  • Double up the recipe and ingredients for the chicken filling to have extra leftovers. Doing this will allow a cook to whip up some delicious chicken roll-ups later!
 
  • If a cook is using cream cheese, keep it at room temperature to avoid lumps in the final mixture.
 
  • When baking the roll-ups, keep an extra eye on the bottoms of the roll. They burn easily.
 
  • Add some diced mushrooms or onion to the filling mixture for more kick in the flavor.
 
  • Other filling add-ins are diced celery, chopped broccoli, green chilies, bell peppers, green onions, and jalapenos.
