What should I use my leftover chicken with?
I love this simple recipe, but depending on the size of your chicken breasts, you may have a little bit of the chicken mixture left over. Here is what I recommend using it for:
- Sandwiches or grilled cheese melts, later in the week, or for lunch.
- Freeze it, and make the recipe again in a month (put the mixture in the fridge, 24 hours before serving it, to best thaw it).
- Put it on salads, and eat throughout the week.
- Eat it with crackers, or even just with a fork.
- Serve it over rice, with melted cheese. It’s like a Hawaiian Haystack, but more delicious.
Try a different meat:
I have only made this recipe using shredded chicken, but I am sure it would work great with other meat as well, such as fish, shrimp, ground chicken or ground turkey, turkey breast, or even some deli meat, if shredded.
You may want to season it differently depending on what meat you choose, but we prefer chicken, most of all. It is absolutely delicious.

These were SO good! Question: how big are the chicken breasts you used? My roll-ups were bursting!
I made these for my 2-year old and husband and they loved them. It’s quick and easy to make.
I thought the recipe was really tastey but inaccurate… I made 16 roll ups and still had a bunch of chicken mixture left over. I have no idea how you would fit all of that into just eight crescents!
Could you use lobster and shrimp with some Old Bay?
Sounds very delicious! Let us know how it all turns out!
I know I’m commenting way after, but I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I put the mixture together and said, “No way this will fit in 8 crescents.” I could’ve easily made probably 18, I’d say.
They were, however, really good. Both of my kids loved them!
I’m going to try this with two chicken breasts, two packages of crescent rolls and 8 slices of cooked bacon.
