Chicken Roll Ups and Pigs in a Blanket.

Alright this meal was from our Roomie Dinner from Wednesday night. Taylor and I had been wanted to make Pigs in a Blanket for a few days so that was definitely on the menu. I had also remembered about some chicken pockets that my mom had made for myself and my brothers when we were younger. This recipe came from a Pillsbury recipe book (you know the little ones you get from the store?) Yea well my mom has about a million of them. We have a small cabinet above our stove and it is filled from end to end with these little cook books. Plus some stacked in front and on top! I bet you she has some since before I was born. Normally my brothers and I were very picky so finding stuff we liked to eat was a bit of a struggle, so when she found this recipe we used to ask for it often because it was delicious! And that's not even the best part! It only costs about $3.00 per person if that! Our modification was to make Chicken Roll Ups instead of pockets because we could use more chicken.

 

Okay so I'm guessing most of you have made Pigs in a Blanket before, but just in case I'll give you the run down. 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Open up a pack of crescent rolls and separate into triangles. 

Take the hot dogs of your choice and roll inside crescent rolls (starting at the wide end). 

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. 

Add ins: cheese-dogs, jalapeno dogs, a slice of cheese?

Now for the Chicken Roll Ups

You can use either a rotisserie chicken or bake a boneless, skinless chicken breast/cook it in a crockpot. 

Shred the chicken and put in a medium size mixing bowl. 

Add in a 4 ounce package of softened cream cheese. 

Add in seasoning to taste. We added some garlic and onion powder as well as fresh cracked black pepper.  

Mix all of the ingredients together. 

Open up a package of crescent rolls and separate into triangles. 

Put a small glob (like a 1/4 cup) onto each triangle and roll up (just like the Pigs in a Blanket). 

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. 

Add ins: Lemon Pepper seasoning, ranch seasoning, anything else you like with chicken haha!

We guarantee you won't be disappointed. This is a super easy and relatively quick meal that is sure to satisfy!
