The other day Reece was talking to me about what he wanted to be when he grew up. The conversation went something like this:
Reece: I know what I want to be when I grow up!
Me: Oh yeah? What’s that?
Reece: I want to be an engineer. But not like an engineer like you and daddy. I want to be a real engineer – a TRAIN engineer.
Me: Wow! That would be cool!
Reece: Yeah. And I wouldn’t need to learn that much because I already know A LOT about trains. I mean, I’ve watched the Polar Express like at least 100 times.
Me: Â That’s true….
As much as I think I know about cooking, I’m always looking for new, creative, delicious, and FAST dinner options for our family. Sure, I’m a stay-at-home mom BUT I also work from home which can get a tad tricky from time to time. No matter how much time I think I have there never seems to be enough when it comes to dinner.
Chris gets home between 5:30 and 5:45 every night. Soccer practice starts at 6. And it’s not next door. Anyone else doing the math here?
Yep. Not only do we need fast meals, we need to be able to eat them quickly and sometimes, eat them on the run 🙂
I am officially a super-fan of this recipe and plan on making as many variations as my creativity allows for in the future. These rolls were gobbled up SO fast and I didn’t hear any complaints. That’s rare.
I made a honey-dijon sauce for the adults that also doubled as a quick salad dressing. YUM. I roasted up a couple chicken breasts real quick but you could easily substitute Rotisserie Chicken and it would be even easier. The trick is making sure you slice the chicken thinly enough that it’s nice and flexible and rolls well.
You make these just like cinnamon rolls using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls for the base. I layered on cheese, ham, and chicken and then rolled it up. Cut ’em, bake ’em, eat ’em! Dinner is served!
This delicious and easy recipe is one of several that inspired my new book 100 Creative Ways to Use Rotisserie Chicken in Everyday Meals. I love using rotisserie chicken to create meals that my family will love! You’ll find casseroles, bakes, comfort food, soups, sandwiches and more!
I have an entire chapter devoted to meals you can can create in 20 minutes or less and another devoted to recipes with 5 ingredients or less. This cookbook is filled with simple and fast recipes that your whole family will love. Â Check it out!

Made these for dinner. They were fantastic. Mine did not come out as pretty as yours though. Next time I think I will roll, cook, then cut.
Shelley says
I made these tonight and they were fantastic! All 3 of my picky eaters gobbled them up!
Scarlett says
Thank you for the review. I get really annoyed at all the ‘making this soon’ comments. I want to know what people think AFTER they make the recipe. I can see that it ‘looks’ good. 🙂 Thanks so much, Shelley.
Judie says
This is such a great idea. I’m thinking these would be great to carry to a sick neighbor or friend. I’m always making cakes to carry to wakes and this could be a nice addition to that also. Sorry not meaning to bring anyone down just always trying to come up with things I can share with others. Thank you 🙂

I’m so making these…or a version (not huge into Swiss cheese…I’m weird). For some reason I have a few packs of crescent rolls in the refrigerator and haven’t decided what to do with them. I love this idea. Thanks!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
So glad you’re going to give it a try Jodi! Cheddar would be great too 🙂
leslie williams says
love this idea but gouda, provolone, and gruyere cheeses would be fantastic too ….

Sheila says
These look great! I made something similar for our Christmas Eve hors d’oeuvres, although they were quite filling. I used Pillsbury Pizza dough, swiss, deli ham & turkey. They were amazing! They had a brown sugar & Dijon mustard glaze poured over them prior to baking. Next time I would cut down on the brown sugar and add more mustard. A tad too sweet for my taste, but delicious nonetheless.
