HOW TO MAKE MAMA’S CHICKEN ROLL UPS

You don’t have to be a whiz in the kitchen to be able to make these delicious Chicken roll-ups but to ensure that they are as yummy as can be they take a bit of time.

  1. First, boil the chicken until cooked through. Keep the leftover chicken broth for the sauce. Once cooled, shred it into little pieces.
  2. In a bowl, mix together your cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, flour and salt, and pepper, set this aside for later on. Unfold your crescent dough into individual triangles. Place a portion of cheese onto the wider end of the triangle, then place a generous helping of chicken onto the cheese.
  3. Starting from the wider end with the fillings, fold the dough up into a roll, it will look a lot like a croissant! Place your Chicken roll-ups into a casserole dish.
  4. Pour your soup and broth mix into the casserole dish, lightly coating the chicken roll-ups as you go. Cook for 25-35 minutes or until golden. Add some extra cheese to the tops of the roll-ups a few minutes before they come out of the oven to achieve a yummy crispy top!

HOW TO KNOW IF THE CHICKEN IS PROPERLY COOKED

To achieve lovely tender chicken that is cooked through, start by letting your water come to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add your chicken breasts and turn the stove off completely.

Place a lid on the pot and leave for an hour and a half to cook through gently. The heat of the water will slowly cook the chicken through and prevent it from becoming too tough and dry.

If you’re in a hurry, you can cook the chicken with the stovetop for about 20 minutes. To check doneness, you can take the chicken breasts out of the water and slice open with a knife and fork.

These Chicken roll-ups keep very well. If you have leftovers or are keeping them for the next day, simply place them in an airtight container and pop them in the fridge.

They can stay in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat them, either place them in a hot oven for 15 minutes, or in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time.
