A can of biscuits means these stuffed rolls come together really quick! They are filled with cream cheese, mushrooms, and chicken. You can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Or you could serve these as an appetizer. They are a total crowd pleaser!

Chicken, Mushroom, and Cream Cheese Stuffed Rolls from The Food Charlatan

Charlotte came home from school the other day and announced that she’s learning about Abraham Lincoln at school. Truman’s face lit up. “Yeah! That guy was watching a movie and another guy came up behind him and shot him in the head. They tried to save him but, (shoulder shrug) he didn’t make it.”

How disturbing is it that the only fact my 3-year-old knows about the greatest president is that he was murdered?? I feel like zero Abraham Lincoln facts would be better than bloody murderous facts. Little boys’ obsession with killing and dying is seriously weird sometimes. Also sometimes it’s hilarious.

My mom used to make these Chicken Rolls for us all the time growing up. My brother mentioned them in passing, and I thought to myself, oh, she must have made them when he was little, because I don’t remember them. (We’re 11 years apart.) But then I made these and could totally remember the taste of them. It was so weird, because I had no memory of the recipe at all (not that I was interested in cooking when I was a kid…) but my tongue totally remembered, and it had me feeling all nostalgic.

It’s hard not to like these rolls. They are in the little cookbook that my mom put together for each of us when we left for college, but I never bothered to make them because 1) I didn’t remember them and 2) they called for canned mushrooms. Like, gross. Fresh mushrooms are bad enough (I’m trying to get over this. Look I even posted Stuffed Mushrooms once. They’re legit.) But canned??

I promise, it works in this recipe. You chop them up and add them to cream cheese, so no weird texture issues to deal with. It just adds nice subtle flavor. It’s not overwhelming, I promised. (“I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be… whelmed?”  “I think you can in Europe!” Please someone tell me you know this movie.)

Chicken, Mushroom, and Cream Cheese Stuffed Rolls

Servings: 8 rolls
A can of biscuits means these stuffed rolls come together really quick! They are filled with cream cheese, mushrooms, and chicken. Dinner or appetizer!

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounce can mushrooms
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken, I love rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tablespoons onion, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt*
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon black pepper*
  • 1 (1-lb) can buttermilk biscuits, (like Pillsbury)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat, parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. (If it's very soft, a spoon will do, otherwise you might want to bust out the mixer.)
  • Drain the mushrooms and chop. Add them to the cream cheese.
  • Add the chicken, onion, salt and pepper and stir together well.
  • Open the can of biscuits. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll out each biscuit (see photos). I used a little bit of flour but don't go crazy.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture evenly between the biscuits. Use your fingers to wrap the biscuit dough around and pinch with your fingers on the bottom.
  • Melt the butter in a small bowl.
  • Add the panko crumbs and the parsley to another bowl.
  • Dip the top of each roll into the butter, then dip in the bread crumbs.
  • Line the rolls on the prepared sheet. I was able to fit them all on a large baking sheet.
  • Bake at 375 for 13-15 minutes, or until nicely browned on the edges.
  • Serve hot!

Notes

*I just added salt and pepper to keep it simple, but I think this would be good with some other spices too, like garlic powder or seasoning salt.
I chose to make 8 larger rolls, but my mom would often use 2 cans of biscuits to make 16 rolls. If I were serving them as appetizers, I would use 2 cans.

  1. I made these and they were delicious. I shared with a neighbor and she said it was the most delicious thing she had ever tasted. I added some shredded cheese.

    1. I’m so glad you enjoyed my mother’s recipe Paulla! And cheddar cheese is never a bad idea! Thank you so much for the review :)

  2. These were so good! And it’s especially amazing since they’re such a snap to put together. Great weeknight meal. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Chicken and mushroom always incredible when they come together. Trust me, there are thounsands recipes can work well with them too. Thank you Karen for such a tasty appatizer recipe. ;)

  4. I have to give proper credit – I’m pretty sure this is a recipe I got from Grandma Georgia, a looong time ago. I love the panko crumbs on top, now I want to make it again!

  5. 10 things I hate about you!
    How come I never had these! I’m still going to have to omit the mushrooms, I just can’t do it! But everything else sounds good!

    1. Without being in quotes, I thought this was a comment on the recipe! It took me a minute to realize that was the movie the quote was from :)
      Making these for dinner after we get you from the airport Saturday!

      1. Hahaha!! I’m sure Misty could come up with 10 things she hates about me ;) Misty, my mom made these with spinach instead of mushrooms last time. It was good!

  6. These look incredible!
    That photo of the cheese all pulled and stringy just had me :o

  7. I make this regularly. But I usually use bread that I’ve purchased off the “day old” rack – you know, the french bread or rolls they’re trying to get rid of at the store? So I’ll get a big ol’ loaf of french bread for like 50 cents and then cut the top off, stuff all the filling inside, and recap it. Then back til warm and slice. I’ve also use canned chicken in a pinch. Definitely nostalgic.

  8. Ha, ha I have two boys who are also a bit obsessed with dying. I am hoping this is a normal boy stage! These chicken rolls look to die for. Can’t believe I’ve never had these. Why didn’t my mom make these for me?
