Chicken Spinach Rolls (from Pinterest w/a Twist)


I typically browse through Pinterest while nursing Reagan in the wee-early hours of the morning.  Lots of hopeful projects with little intention of actually being accomplished!!

This afternoon I was seeing what great and amazing things I NEEDED TO SEE!!  I stumbled upon this recipe.  As I was sitting there, pondering what to make for lunch (because what was on the menu wasn't drawing me in), I found these and noticed I had everything I needed to make these, right then.  The ingredients were even things I needed to use up (things I hadn't used or had left from previous meals this week).   They didn't look difficult so I gave it a shot.  I modified it a little bit so I'll post what I actually did.  I cut the original recipe in half.  It was only for me (I'm sure Shannon would eat what was left), and I only had one can of rolls on hand.

Here is what you need:

  • 1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls, 8 ct
  • 2 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 TBS of butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • dash salt and pepper
  • (the original recipe calls for olives - I don't like olives, so I left them out, but if you want to add them feel free.  They say about 1 oz. for the full recipe.)
  • I also added pre-cooked grilled chicken strips to help make it meal!

Pre-heat oven to 350*.
Chop the spinach and add the feta, mozzarella, red pepper, salt, and pepper.

Separate the crescent rolls into the triangles.  Place a spoon full of spinach-cheese mixture on the rolls and top with a piece of grilled chicken.

Roll up the crescent rolls, place on a greased cookie sheet and top with a little bit extra mozzarella cheese.

Bake them for about 15 minutes (or until rolls are browned) on 350.

Enjoy!!!
