They don’t have to be cooled or served hot so transportation is easy.

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!

They are very versatile.

You can use any type of deli meat you like, or even some leftover rotisserie chicken as long as it’s small enough! Feel free to even switch up the cheese if you like something better than provolone. A spicy pepper jack would be fantastic.

Chicken Cheese Rolls will give you something healthy to eat.

There’s nothing worse than going to a party and not being able to enjoy the food alongside everyone else. Because these rolls are so Weight Watchers friendly, you can ensure that there’s something at the party for you to snack on.

They’re easy to make ahead of time.

I love recipes that allow you to get things done a day or two ahead of time. These rolls are perfect for preparing before guests arrive so you’re not stuck in the kitchen while they’re visiting.

Ingredients you need to make Chicken Cheese Rolls:

1 package of Pillsbury pizza dough
5 oz thinly sliced lean deli chicken
3 oz thinly sliced light provolone cheese
1 tablespoon melted butter
½ tablespoon brown sugar
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard

How to make Chicken Cheese Rolls (step by step):

Preheat oven to 350F, and spray a 9×13 casserole dish with some nonstick cooking spray.
Roll out the pizza dough so it is fairly thin without breaking apart.
Cover the dough with the thin deli chicken then layer the chicken with the cheese
Roll the pizza dough up so you have one long roll, then cut it into 16 equal rolls. Place the rolls into the baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Using a pastry brush, brush each roll with the mixture.
Bake them in the oven for approximately 35 minutes or until a nice golden brown forms on top.
Serve warm and enjoy!

I went to my local deli and had them slice some light provolone cheese as thin as they could. Ask at your deli, and you can use a different cheese if you can’t find a light provolone.

Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken Cheese Rolls:

The best way to cut the rolls evenly is to cut the roll in half, then cut those halves in half and repeat till you have 16 pieces.
You could easily prep these for a party and place the roll in the fridge then cut and bake them at the time they are needed.
These will keep well in the fridge for 3-5 days, just pop in an air fryer to reheat any leftovers. They do not freeze well.
