Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute onion and green pepper in butter.
- Stir in cooked, chopped chicken, 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and pepper.
- Roll out the biscuits to 1/4 to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the mixture on each rolled-out biscuit.
- Roll up the biscuits and seal the edges by pressing the dough together.
- Place the rolled biscuits in a greased baking dish.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
- In a saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup and milk.
- Heat the soup mixture thoroughly and pour over the baked rolls.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding diced jalapeños for extra heat or substitute the Cheddar cheese with pepper jack. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt works well as a substitute. Make sure to seal the edges of the biscuits tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking. This recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these roll-ups with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with a creamy soup, such as Cream Of Chicken And Cheese Soup, for a comforting dinner. You can also drizzle extra hot sauce on top for those who enjoy a spicy kick, or serve with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Cheesy Chicken Roll-Ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but the oven method helps retain the crispiness of the biscuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but ensure it's fully cooked before chopping. You can bake or boil the chicken beforehand, then chop it into pieces. This will save time and make the preparation process easier.
What can I substitute for the biscuits?
If you prefer a healthier option, you can use whole wheat tortillas or puff pastry instead of biscuits. Just roll the filling in the tortillas and bake until golden, or follow the pastry instructions for the best results.
Can I prepare these roll-ups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the roll-ups a day in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Just add the soup mixture and cheese on top before baking. This makes it convenient for busy weeknights!
