Chicken Basil Roll -Ups


1 pkg Crescent Rounds (these are new to me- they roll up round like a cinnamon roll, instead of triangular)

Filling:
1 can chunk chicken, drained (you could also use leftover chicken- just shred it)
1 cup ricotta
1-2 tablespoons basil pesto
1/2 cup- 1 cup grated mozzarella

(you could also mince up a mushroom or two and add into it, or even some green onion would be good)

Unroll each roll. Carefully spread a thick layer of filling on each section. Re-roll. Place filled rounds in a glass baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick spray. They will look like filled cinnamon rolls.
Bake at 350 until crescents are slightly browned, mine took about 20-25 minutes.

The "rolls" are great as is- or you can do what I did and make an accompanying "dip", using minced black olive and finely chopped tomatoes mixed together, seasoned with a dash or two of garlic salt.

Serve with a green salad.

(NOTE: Even my kids liked this one, and that is saying something...)
