Simple ingredients
One of the best things about this recipe? You only need a handful of ingredients to throw it together.
- Cubed or shredded chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken, pre-cooked chicken, or quickly boil some chicken and chop or shred it.
- Refrigerated crescent rolls. You could also use thawed Rhodes Roll dough in a pinch.
- Cream cheese. Any kind will do for this recipe, including low-fat or non-fat.
- Chopped onion. This is definitely optional. If you have littles that won’t eat onions, feel free to omit these or substitute them for a 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder.
- Mushrooms. Growing up, our mom always used a small can of mushrooms. When I make them now, I like to use fresh mushrooms diced really small (so my kids will eat them!).
How to make chicken roll-ups
- In a large bowl, mix together cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, onion, and mushrooms.
- Roll out your crescents, place a heaping spoonful of chicken mixture on the wide end of the crescent and roll it up.
- Place on large cookie sheet (you’ll want to use your largest pan to fit them all).
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Watch for the rolls to turn golden, but make sure they don’t burn. This recipe will make 16 roll-ups.

To store
Because of the cream cheese, these tend to get a little soggy the longer they sit. If you do have leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container for a day or two and reheat before eating.
We wouldn’t recommend freezing the finished product (again, they would definitely be too soggy), but you could freeze the roll-ups before you bake them. When you’re ready to eat them, pull them out of the freezer, let them thaw, and then bake according to the recipe directions.

Now that I think about it... I bet you could make them- not cook them- and freeze them that way. I hope this is helpful for you,
