Note

  1. Chicken Options: You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders, as suggested, for this recipe. If you prefer a lighter flavor, opt for chicken breasts. However, chicken tenders tend to be more tender and cook faster.

  2. Creamy and Cheesy Filling: The filling for these rolls is made with a combination of cream cheese, mozzarella, and a few additional spices like garlic powder, salt, pepper, sun dried tomatoes, and basil. Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your taste preferences, however.

  3. Optional Additions: If you want to add some extra flavors and textures to your chicken rolls, consider incorporating ingredients like cooked and crumbled bacon, diced vegetables (such as bell peppers or onions), or chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley).
  4. Baking vs. Frying: In the video, we demonstrate baking the chicken rolls in the oven for a healthier option. However, if you prefer a crispier texture, you can lightly brush the rolls with oil and pan-fry them until golden brown on all sides.

  5. Freezing and Reheating: These chicken rolls can be prepared in advance and frozen for later use. Once assembled, place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm. Transfer the frozen rolls to a freezer-safe container or bag. When ready to enjoy, bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

  6. Serving Suggestions: Serve these Thrifty Creamy Cheesy Chicken Rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, salsa, or a tangy barbecue sauce. They also pair well with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or seasoned rice for a complete meal.

Remember, this recipe is all about being thrifty and delicious, so feel free to adapt it to your taste preferences and use what ingredients you have on hand. Get creative and enjoy these scrumptious Thrifty Creamy Cheesy Chicken Rolls without breaking the bank!
