Chicken Roll Ups
Description
The recipe combines cooked or canned chicken with softened cream cheese, milk, salt, and pepper to make a creamy filling. Crescent roll dough is separated into triangles, each topped with the chicken mixture, folded, and rolled up. The rolled dough is brushed lightly with melted butter and rolled in crushed croutons, panko, or cracker crumbs, which bake into a crunchy outer crust.
Baking on an ungreased sheet at 350°F for 20 minutes produces a golden, crispy exterior. For serving, the roll ups can be paired with a sauce made from cream of chicken soup diluted with milk and seasoned with spices and herbs, adding moisture and flavor to the finished rolls.
The rolls are suitable for snacks or meals, offering a crisp outside and rich filling with possible customization by adding diced vegetables to the chicken mixture. This dish utilizes convenient ingredients and straightforward assembly.
