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: 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. Check it out!

Chris at Hye Thyme Cafe says
Your conversation with Reece just got me thinking – I’ve never actually been on a “real” train. A bazillion subways, but that’s just not the same. By the time I finally do, I’ll have to ask who the engineer is… could be Reece. 😉 Funny, I pinned a post last night and was just coming back to read some and noticed that we both posted Chicken Cordon Bleu dishes. Although I poached the chicken for mine, I also pointed out one of my favorite “cheat” … using a rotisserie chicken. Weird that they’re usually cheaper than buying and cooking your own too. [#PinItThurs]
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Rotisserie chicken is seriously the way to go. So yummy and no stress. And my goodness you need to go on a “real” train ride 🙂 So fun!
Rochelle says
Hi Trish,
l made this recipe today for Sunday brunch for my family. They were delicious! l didn’t leave space between my pinwheels to allow them to expand, rise and bake. Because l didn’t do this, they took much longer to bake and were a little doughy inside. The next time l make them (…and there will definitely be a next time) l will know better. Learn from my mistakes people 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe and good for you for giving it another try! Thank for the feedback Rochelle 🙂
Kati Hagerty says
Do y think these could be done as a freezer meal?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I think they could Kati! I would check the Pillsbury site for information about freezing their products though since I haven’t tried it. Thanks for stopping by!
Tamie Cawley says
I’m thankful for joining Pillsbury.com. I have found several recipes I’m sure will be a hit. Thank you for sharing. After a while pigs in the blanket needs a twist. Now my family sure will enjoy these.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s so great Tamie! Thanks for stopping by!
Fern says
I just found what I’m going to bring to my work Christmas party tomorrow night. Gonna triple the recipe so there is plenty.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s wonderful Fern! I’m sure everyone will love them 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
Jennifer says
So I have never made cinnamon rolls using cresent. When you say in your instructions to roll it like a cinnamon roll which side are you suppose to roll from. One of the ends or the sides? I’m making them now and was looking at your pics and I think if did them wrong. I don’t know it it matters or not. But I just thought it would have been useful info if it does. 🙂 So I guess we will see how these puppies turn out. I think they will be a hot mess since they seem more open then yours. The cheese will probably be all over the place rarer than in the roll itself. Haha. Oh well, it all goes down the same way right?
Jennifer says
So these turned out great!! I don’t think it matters which end or side you roll. This is a great idea and will definitely be making these scrumptious morsels again. Thanks! 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s so good to know Jennifer! Thank you for stopping by and letting me know 🙂 Have a great week!
Tamie Cawley says
Sounds like it was hands down a hit with the Family. I was looking at a different recipe Trish posted describing how to pinch the corners of the crescent rolls. I had to click on this recipe in order to view the layout of pinching corners. I’m glad I did now I have another delicious recipe sure to be a hit.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Tamie! Both recipes require the same technique and both are just delicious!
Lisa Smart says
My daughter LOVES Cordon Bleu. Can’t wait to try this version for her…Will probably do a alfredo sauce to pour over the top…
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Ooh! Like the alfredo sauce idea Lisa!
Michelle says
I want to ask about the bread that is used. I am not from America and don’t have access to the product you are using. Is there any other way to make these (make the bread yourself) or is it just like regular dough? They look super yummy, really wanna try these 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sure! You can also use regular pizza dough or even bread dough and it will be very similar. Good luck Michelle!
Shayla says
These look so yummy! I’ll be making them for sure.
I wonder how well they would freeze?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Shayla! I haven’t tried it yet but I think they would freeze okay. Let me know if you give it a try!
Jenny says
These sound great! Did you know they make seamless crescent roll dough sheets? They make recipes like this even a little bit easier. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yes they do but my local stored doesn’t carry it 🙁 I need to stock up on that! Thanks Jenny!
Debby Roughley says
Sounds great but can u please tell me what crescent rolls are and were can I buy them ?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Crescent rolls are a product made by Pillsbury and you can find them in the refrigerated section at your store. Good luck!
