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!

Swain Wanda says
I tried these last night. Love these! I liked your recipe a lot. I like spicy so I added some pepper on it.
Pinned already! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂 Keep up the good work.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Great idea! Thanks for the feedback!
Mandy says
I have made these several times and they are easy and amazing! My family loves them! Thank you for the great chicken cordon bleu crescent roll recipe! Genius!
Donna says
I made these tonight. Substitute the Swiss cheese for cheddar but unfortunately the dough stayed raw. Not sure what went wrong.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sounds like you didn’t bake them long enough? Or maybe your pan was a little too small. There should be some space between the rolls before going into the oven. Hope that helps!
Cecile says
Love these! And loved how your son has decided to be a train engineer. Aren’t kids just something else!!?? Question – do you ever sleep? I do NOT know how you do everything you do!!
I’m skipping the ‘comment luv’ – which I DO love… but since my most recent post is about making Blood Pudding under the ‘Historic and Interesting Recipe’ category.. I’ll skip the ‘comment luv’ this time!! ; o )
Margie says
Sounds like a delicious meal. Although in the picture your slices of chicken look kind of thick. I’m wondering how you were able to roll the dough up into such a round log..???
Pam says
Quick question: csn these be made earlier in the day then served at room temperature at a potluck or picnic? Thx for the reply
Jolene says
I’m wondering the same thing. Did you try it?
Meredith K says
These were great. The only problem was that it took 30 minutes to fully cook. I took them out at 19 min and the bottom edge was still raw dough.
PS. I have found and come to love crescent roll dough in a sheet so you don’t have to press together the seem (found at Wal-Mart & Publix).
Andrea says
Pinned quite some time ago, and just got around to fixing it tonight. We will definitely be making this one again very soon!
Cathy says
what do you think about using dried ranch dressing mix? I dont like Italian seasoning
baking classes in Kolkata says
Liked your recipe a lot. Looking forward for some more mouth watering recipes. Keep up the good work.
Amy says
How do you cut them into small rolls? They look delicious!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
After you’ve rolled up the log – like a cinnamon roll – then you slice them into rounds Amy. Hope that helps!
Angie says
These were super easy and delicious. The boys gobbled them up. We like spicy so I added just a tad – and I mean a tad – of horseradish to the honey-dijon sauce. Will definitely make these again and will try omitting the Italian seasoning and replacing it with sliced pepperoncini. I like the idea of using different meats, cheeses, veggies, etc. Thanks for the recipe!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You are a dear Sandra! And yes, this pie pretty much screams summer to me too. Of course, I guess we’re deep into Spring here in Sacramento. 70s. 80s. That’s March for us 😉
Janair Everette says
I plan on making this one day. Did you roll it the long way or short way?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Roll from the long end Jenair, just like for cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
Shelby says
Thanks for the idea! I filled mine with soy “chicken”, Mexican cheese, sour cream mixed with taco seasoning, and red peppers. After it was done cooking I added more cheese on top. It was delicious! Thanks for making dinner a success.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Love it Shelby! Sounds super yummy!
Susan the farm quilter says
Made these last week…and another batch is in the oven right now!! These are totally fabulous!!! Easy to make and oh so delicious!! Thank you for the recipe!! I’m going to post a link to this recipe on facebook…gotta share!!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That makes me so incredibly happy Susan! I’m thrilled that you loved the recipe 🙂 Hope your week is going well!
Valerie says
These look delicious! I’m making a grocery list now, and including all of the ingredients.
By the way, watch out for Reece. For his entire life, all my son wanted to be when he grew up was an engineer. Just a couple of months ago, that dream came true. He’s 21 and this momma is very proud! 🙂
Cherina says
I just made these and they are sooo delicious!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Love hearing that Cherina – thank you! Have a great week 🙂
Chris Greek says
Hubby and I came across this recipe a few days ago and I knew we had to try it. Of course, living in an isolated town in the arctic means having to change things up a bit, especially as there were no crecent rolls in town! No worries – we whipped up a quick pie crust and made tarts. I filled them with cooked chicken and some left over ham and then drizzled the honey mustard sauce on before topping with some Swiss cheese. Oh my they were YUMMY! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sounds delicious! I love that you made this recipe your own!
Amallia @desire to eat says
wow looks so delicious, I’ll try this for dinner. Thanks
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Amallia! We LOVE these rolls!
Nicole says
This is a wonderful recipe! Husband and I loved it!! I made a couple of changes that just fit our tastes. I used the Swiss cheese and used thick slices of ham from the deli counter, Boars Head rosemary and thyme ham. Then added pickle spears. My dad always did that to his cordon bleu and so I do it. Thanks for the recipe. It is delish!! Definitely going into the weekly rotation. 🙂
Erin @ Making Memories says
Of course I HAD to pin this. It looks amazing! Thanks so much for this one!!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh thank you Erin!
Lizzy Mac says
Oh my. These look deliciousssssss!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Lizzy!
Jill says

Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Jill!!
Cara says
YUM! I cannot wait to try these…who doesn’t love a fast and easy dinner? Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you Cara!
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!
twutah says
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 🙂
Mackenzie @ Cheerios and Lattes says
Love this idea Trish! Can’t wait to try this!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Super yummy 🙂 Thanks Mackenzie!
Kristen Duke says
Yum! I love crescent rolls with just about anything and love that these could easily be eaten on the go!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh me too Kristen! Thank you!
Kara says
Oh my goodness! I might have to make this tonight for dinner! These look delicious!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Kara! They’re so easy and yummy too 🙂
kristi@ishouldbemoppingthefloor says
So fabulous, Trish! I love anything wrapped in a crescent roll!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh me too girlie!
Lyuba@willcookforsmiles says
Awesome idea so serve at the party! Definitely have to remember this 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Lyuba!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
YUM!!! I just love all the things you can roll up into crescent rolls 🙂 And I am laughing at your comment about your hubby thinking you were trying to feed him vegetarian meals.
Melissa @Serendipity and Spice says
These look delicious….perfect for lunch! I’m constantly trying to come up with new lunch ideas for my son– these will be perfect!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
The boys really loved these Melissa! Easy and yummy too 🙂
Jodi says
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 ….
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
SUCH a good idea – we don’t have much time for weeknight dinners either, so I’m always on the lookout for meal ideas like this. LOVE crescent rolls!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Ashley! It really is delicious!
Carole says
These look delicious, Trish! Such a great idea! I love the conversation between you and Reece – so cute!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
LOL! Thanks Carole!!
Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet says
Oh my this is something I am definitely going to have to try!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Nancy!!
Rachel says
I LOVE this idea Trish! So making this next week.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yay! Thanks Rachel!
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.
