Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the chicken with garlic powder or onion powder before mixing. If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with a can of drained chickpeas. Using whole wheat tortillas can boost the fiber content, or try corn tortillas for a gluten-free alternative. For a creamier texture, mix in some sour cream with the soup.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these roll-ups with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with a side of Donna'S Soup for a comforting touch. For a fun twist, drizzle some hot sauce or serve with salsa for added flavor. Enjoy with a light dessert to round off the meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh broccoli! Just steam or blanch it until tender before mixing it with the other ingredients. Fresh broccoli may offer a brighter flavor and a crunchier texture in the roll-ups.
What can I substitute for cream of mushroom soup?
If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can use homemade white sauce or a mixture of cream of chicken soup. For a lighter option, consider using a can of low-fat cream of celery soup, which works well with chicken recipes.
Can I freeze these roll-ups?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled roll-ups before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
