Is it just me or does Summer basically equal your kids surviving on grilled cheese and quesadillas for dinner? Haha! We are constantly go go go that actual good homemade dinners tend to go on the back burner on my scale of importance. But will school back in action and us getting back into our routines, I’m ready to get our at home family dinners going again too! Which means I needed some ideas and you guys did not fail me!!! Below you will find a list of ALL the amazing dinner ideas you gave me PLUS a recipe for our families favorite chicken roll ups!

: CHICKEN ROLL UPS 

Do you have a meal that totally screams comfort food to you? For me, one of those is these chicken roll ups! I grew up eating them regularly, and they are now one of the most requested meals from my own kids too! Not only are they delicious, but they are super quick + easy to make!! So let’s get to the recipe!

– INGREDIENTS – 

6-8 chicken breasts (rotisserie chicken works great too if you are short on time)

chicken broth

1-2 8 oz packages cream cheese

crescent rolls

chicken gravy mix

As you an see by these ingredients, this is one of those recipes I just kind of eyeball. You don’t want your chicken mixture to be too dry, but you also don’t want to just be eating a spoonful of cream cheese…so do what looks right on the cream cheese vs chicken ratio. 🙂

– INSTRUCTIONS – 

Cook chicken in crock pot with chicken broth. When it is done, shred the chicken and mix with cream cheese. Unroll crescent roll dough. Scoop a spoonful of chicken mixture onto each of the roll triangles and roll them up into a ball, making sure chicken mixture is sealed inside.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 until the tops are a golden brown.

While roll ups are baking, mix up your gravy. I just use the powdered gravy mix you add to water.

When rollups are done, pour some of the chicken gravy on top and enjoy!
