Recipe: Chicken Roll Ups




So when Megan came to visit me, we kind of pigged out. We would have some ice cream, then twenty minutes like some snacks, then maybe some wine. This is what happens when you can just hang out, craft and be goofy all day. So, I was starting to get a bit hungry before dinner, so I made these quick and easy chicken roll ups that I came up with one day when my pantry had too many cans of chicken, and I had no no idea what to do with them.

The recipe doesn't require much:
  • 1 can of chicken, this was too big, I would use a normal size
  • some shredded cheese, I picked mozzarella
  • one tube of crescent rolls
  • some seasoning. I use this blend, but basil is also delicious
They are also really easy to make:

First, preheat the oven to whatever the crescent roll packaging says to. I believe it was 375, but don't quote me on that. Then spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Next drain your chicken and break up large chunks. I miss the seasoning with a little pepper with the chicken in a bowl.

Unroll your crescent rolls and break them apart. I find it's easiest to line them up on a separate tray from the one I am cooking on.

Lay a layer of cheese down. You can put as much or as little was you want.

Next add some chicken on top of the cheese.

Roll it up. and repeat. Bake for the amount of time on the crescent tube. and when you pull them out, you get delicious and easy chicken roll ups.




Enjoy!

Recipe: Crockpot Creamy Italian Chicken

Keith and I are doing a lot better on our resolution to eat at home. We have been cooking more and eating up leftovers, which is always the hard part for me. We want to lose weight and save up some money to travel soon, so we thought eating at home could help with both of those things.

I'm going to jump right into it. Here is today's recipe for Crockpot Creamy Italian Chicken.

You need:
  • A crockpot
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 italian seasoning package
  • 1 block of cream cheese (we used light)
  • 2 cans of cream of chicken soup
 Place chicken in crockpot, put seasoning on top of it. Then mix in cream cheese and soup. Cook on high for 4 hours or until chicken is cooked all the way. Serve on rice or noodles. 


This recipe was one I got from my mom. Over the fall we visited my parents and my mom served this for dinner, but used rice instead of noodles. It was delicious, but I prefer egg noodles myself.

Enjoy! :)
