This quick and easy recipe for Cheesy Chicken Rollups will make life a little easier and a whole lot tastier! With fewer than 5 ingredients, it’s bound to become a weekly favorite!
Around here, “quick and easy” is the name of the game. Spending time in the kitchen is enjoyable for me, but during the week, I often don’t have that luxury. I practically live in my car these days.
My husband got a new job, so the school drop-off and pick-up has fallen back on my shoulders. It wasn’t so bad when we were splitting the task, but now having three kids in three different schools is a little insane. The pick-up “circuit” takes me an hour and a half! By the time we get home, it’s already time for homework and dinner.
So, for the next couple months until school is out, I’m sticking with slow cooker meals, lots of freezer meals, batch cooking and quick dinners like these Cheesy Chicken Rollups.
Not counting the spices for the chicken, there are only 4 ingredients in this recipe! How’s that for easy?!? I make Meatball Pockets for my boys all the time, and that’s where I got the idea for these “rollups.”
Instead of using red sauce and a meatball, I’m using RAGÚ Roasted Garlic Parmesan sauce and chicken. It helps that my boys will literally eat anything if it’s wrapped in crescent roll dough. Seriously.
Another meal similar to this one, but with a different flavor profile is Chicken Enchilada Puffs. Crescent roll dough is so versatile, and for that matter, so is chicken! You can see (and save) the recipe for Chicken Enchilada Puffs here!

Serve with salad for a quick and easy meal or alone as an appetizer. To make this even easier, try using leftover cooked chicken or a grocery store rotisserie chicken. That literally cuts down the prep time to under 10 minutes, which means you can have dinner on the table in about 20 minutes total. Winner winner, chicken dinner!!!

I had to pin this one. This is one my fourteen-year-old son could make by himself. I know he’d love the cheesy part of it. I like that there are many options to pair with this to make a full meal.

Definitely! And you can tweak things to suit your tastes as well. I can’t wait until my boys are old enough to make their own after school snacks or easy dinners 🙂

Wow, sounds like you’ve really got your hands full with the pick up and drop off alone!
I love baking, but cooking dinner is not my favorite activity, so quick and easy meals like this are perfect for me!
