4. imsteelefullofscrap says:

   I will definetly be trying these they look scrumptious!
5. Desirae says:

   These were SO yummy and oh so very filling!
6. Allison says:

   My mom made something similar to this when I was growing up. Instead of rolling the mixture in the crescent roll, she would wrap the roll around the mixture to completely enclose it. Then she would dip the roll in butter and then in seasoned breadcrumbs before baking. They were a hit at our house.

   I'm making these tonight, but I was wondering, can you freeze any leftovers?
8. Six Sisters says:

   I'll be honest. They get a little soggy even the next day. I'm afraid freezing them and then thawing them would make them even more soggy! When I was first married I cut the recipe in half since there was only two of us.
   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,
   Sincerely,

   I've never cooked before so when you say cooked chicken... how do I do that? On the stove? Boil it? In the oven? So lost when it comes to cooking.
10. Camille says:

    No worries! You can cook the chicken any of those ways. I am lazy and just like to boil it- just throw the chicken in a pot of boiling water until the insides are no longer pink (15-20 minutes, then just cut the chicken open to make sure it's cooked through). Or you could saute it on the stove top- I just like to cut it into small pieces and throw it in a frying pan on the stove with a little bit of olive oil. Any way would be just fine!
11. Andrea says:

    How do you make the gravy?
12. Six Sisters says:

    Where you don't have any drippings, we use cream of chicken soup and dilute it with some water or milk or you can buy the bottled chicken gravy.
13. Lesta says:

    I haven't made this in ages and I wanted to make sure I remembered how. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Make the Chicken Roll Ups as recipe calls for, have your melted butter & bread crumbs ready in each separate bowl & roll each Chicken Roll Up in the butter first then into the bread crumbs, cook @ 350* in oven for 1/2 hour or a light golden brown. I like mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, cooked broccoli, asparagus carrots or corn with mine, & maybe a nice tossed salad to make a complete (yummy) meal. Enjoy with the family & friends. I’ve been making these Chicken Roll Ups for a long time ( 20 or more years so I know there good !!
15. Nancy Fox says:

    This is Nancy again !!! ? You can also freeze your Chicken Roll Ups after making & cooking them. Then when your ready to have them for dinner just unthaw & heat them up in the micro wave They are still very good !!! Thanks ?
16. Cathy says:

    How much chicken...1 lb? Didn't see where it said how much of each ingredient. Thanks!
17. Cyd says:

    Scroll down on the blog post and you'll see the entire recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions. I don't think you scrolled down far enough on the post.
18. Vicki says:

    We’ve been making these in our family for years. We like to add shredded cheese and leave out the mushrooms because the cooks don’t like mushrooms lol. We call them “chicken in a diaper” because when sealed up like someone else mentioned, they look a little bit like diapers.
19. Jessica says:

    What's the sauce in top that's in the main picture?
20. Cyd says:

    You can use a gravy or cream of chicken soup with a little bit of milk added to it. Then heat it up. Works great as a gravy.
21. Ardis says:

    Would adding a little ranch to the mix taste okay?
22. Cyd says:

    Adding a little ranch sounds delicious!!
23. Kimberly says:

    What would be a substitute for the mushrooms? Would broccoli chopped very small work as a substitution?
24. Carol says:

    I didn’t see a recipe for the gravy, did you use store bought?
25. Cyd says:

    We have used store bought, cream of chicken soup, and leftover homemade gravy. They all taste great.
26. Cyd says:

    You could use broccoli, but you would need to cook it first. The baking time for the roll-ups is not enough time to cook broccoli.
27. Tiffany Aiken says:

    Could I use the canned shredded chicken (sorta looks like tuna) from Costco? Or would that be weird...
28. Cyd says:

    Hi Tiffany. We are totally about shortcuts and the canned shredded chicken will work great in these Mom's chicken and cream cheese roll-ups.
29. Jessica says:

    Would these be okay made in a soft tortilla wrap rather than the crescent roll? My toddler is kind of hard to cook for but will eat anything in a tortilla wrap.
30. Cyd says:

    Hi Jessica. We have not baked these in a tortilla. It should work fine and will crisp up a little when cooked.
31. Carol says:

    Can these be made using shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese instead of cream cheese?
32. Cyd says:

    You could add shredded cheese, but the cream cheese gives the chicken mixture a creamy consistency.
33. Amy says:

    Excellent and super easy. Thank you for sharing. To kick this up a notch I sautéed spinach, onion, bell pepper, bacon and fresh mushrooms and added that to the chicken and cream cheese. Tastes great and an easy way to sneak the veggies in for the kids.

    I am so happy you have this recipe! My husband eats it!! I don’t put the mushrooms in and I substitute the onion with onion powder. But really the best part is, my family loves it.

    We are so glad the family loves the Chicken and Cream Cheese roll-ups!
