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!

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!

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!

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. 🙂
